He is the Boss in the sense that he can arrest you, tase you, or use deadly
force on you if the situation escalates.

Subject: Re: [OBRA Chat] Police being the "boss"
I was just reading the responses to Mr. Fitzwater's account of being stopped
by the police.
I read this line:
I am pretty sure I would not be trying to take a photo of an officer while
he/she is in control of the situation... which even when this type of
escalation takes place... the officer is the boss.
I'm sorry but I take issue with that. If you were in the office and "the
boss" treated you so abusively and disrespectfully how long would you take
it? They are supposed to protect and serve, yet we hear lots of stories of
petty bullying.
