Didn’t, ‘fear them’, it was more of a, “Oh S&*$ moment”
Riding a bikecycle, (After Curfew),
Throwing firecrackers off the RR tressel,
Drinking 3.2 beer and smoking cigarettes, at the Town Fair,
Skiing behind a convertible, with the top down, in Dec, on snowy roads in town.
Parking out by the lake on a deserted road, (with a girl).
Etc.
Never, Fear, just the, ‘Oh Sh*& moment. But ALWAYS Respect,
because, I was treated with Respect, So I Respected the Cop.
About 20 years ago, got a speeding ticket.
“You were going 45 in a 30 MPH zone”
( It was about 100 feet, as I came from a 45,
and turned into a office, which was in the 30.
Just didn’t slow down fast enough)
The Cop asked me: “When was you last speeding ticket”
I said: “I don’t know, 15-18 years ago”
Then he said: “Well it’s about time you got another one”
I told him: “I knew you when your Mamma wiped the S*&% off your ass,
give me a warning”. He said: “Here is your ticket”.
So, 20 years ago, I stopped,
‘Respecting’, cops.
In the last 20 years, I have gotten two speeding tickets,
and each time, I was treated like I was one of the 911 Terrorists !
LOLOL, In Minn, a, ‘Blue’ light, working in conduction with the Break light,
as long as it is 1”, or under in Dia, is
LEAGEL.Can you guess what I have added to my S40 ?????
Haven’t been stopped yet, Just Waiting LOLOL
Can you Guess, what, then will happen !!!!!
Recently, I was in a car shop, waiting for the owner.
In to a empty Stall, pulled this ‘Cop’ car,
puts his
Light and SIREN on, INSIDE THE SHOP,gets out of his car, grabs a pop,
(which everyone else pays .50 for if they want one, it’s just a refrigerator)
didn’t pay, hops in his car, and Burns Rubber in reverse.
Couple of weeks later, I was sitting at the Counter, talking with the owner,
about repairs made to my car, when In Pulled the Same Cop,
(No Stalls were empty at this time)
He Rudely, walked behind the counter, interrupted my speaking with the owner,
acted generally like a total A88 H0l@, until he caught my eye,
He must have saw something their, because I was about to ask him:
“What do you want to be, WHEN YOU GROW UP”.Then he left.
I have
NO, NONE WHATSOEVER, “Respect’ for ‘cops’,
UNTIL, They, show me respect.
The, the, ‘Guide Lines’, of ‘who’ are, cops, have changed, Drastically !
Remember, YOU, pay, Their wages, THEY do not pay Yours !Now we have TWO Groups, ( Brown/Cops),
Who have BOTH, been told: “They Are Special”.
Now add to that the ‘Media’, who have ALSO been told:
“They are Special”.
Is it ANY Wonder, why the, ’TRUTH’, of what ACTUALLY Happened, has NOT come out !!!!!!
You show me ‘respect, ‘ I give you, ‘respect’.
You act like a A@@ H0l@, I Am Going to the TOP.!No, never, feared the cops, It went from the, “Oh Sh*$% moment”, to the,
“You speak to me with, ‘respect’, or find a different job”.
In Ferguson, (As far as the info I can get), it seems like,
the Cop was right, and Brown, was, ‘excerpting’, his, ’special privilege’,
(that he was told), was befitting him.
