UNCOMFORTABLY close to the crest of this somewhat blind hill was a black-n-white sherriff car, and an unmarked Charger behind it, stopped dead in the right lane. The charger had his window flashers on. The two officers were in between their cars, talking about whatever they were taking care of there, I suppose.

So, I crammed the brakes, came to a stop behind the Charger, put on my signal, and waited to merge into the middle lane and continue on my way home.

Traffic in the other two lanes didn't slow one bit, and when I saw my opening, I footed it. 180 hp of German rage accelerated as best it could into the middle lane, and I continued on my way. I was a little bummed the officers couldn't have put a flare or something at the top of that hill, or maybe put one of the cars up there or something, but I'm not a cop. I don't know how it works.

So, anyway, about a mile down the road, the black-n-white SCREAMS up behind me lit up like a Christmas tree.

I proceeded to take a verbal slap-fest about "exhibiting speed" and about howmanyofficersdieintrafficstopseachyearasopposedt ogunviolence and how "The world doesn't revolve around you." Like I'm sixteen. After I tried to explain for 10 seconds how, however noisy, I was just trying to merge safely; I began to realize how no reply on my part was really necessary.

Anyway, I don't know where I'm going with this, but after he ran my info he actually apologized for yelling, (sort of) and let me go. It's just kind of ironic to me that he would hammer down at 80 mph and run a red light to stop me and yell at me for how unsafe I was being with my "exhibition of merge."

Yeah it's hard to argue with a guy who has hair that short, a dick that small and wearing gestopo boots. And you know the hair and boots are just an attempt to compensate for the other .....
Forgot how much I hate cops when they go into revenue generation mode...

People hate other people for lots of reasons, mostly because of ignorance.

True story:


The irony was thick enough to cut with a knife but it still really screwed with my head, he left behind a pretty young wife and newborn child. Told my roommate about it that night and he just looked at me blankly and said "Dumb motherf*$!er never should have !#$%ed with you" and changed the subject.

Cops have bad days too. Most of the people they deal with are dirtbags, so when they confront a law-abiding citizen, they may still be in the "confronting a dirtbag" mode.

I have no respect for either. To hell with cops, and to hell with you too for that matter.


Or perhaps they're just total jerks to begin with.

Yeah, i think that's probably it.

Thank you for proving my point about ignorance. I would say that most repo people are wannabe cops but that would probably be a generalization, but I would think it a much more accurate generalization and closer to the truth than your elementary thoughts about cops.

I welcome your continued thoughts in this matter but please try to respond as an adult.
