Cops: theyre cool as hell

[Catbird]

I'd say that's a fair way to put it.

Where the hell is MY Skylark?

[TheWanderer]

Best "Good Cop" story I know happened to my father, last summer. I'd just bought my KZ650 a week before, had only taken it out a couple times. My dad liked to take it around the block, but never much further, since Chicago suburban traffic will kill ya. One day, as I was getting ready to go out, he takes the bike out.  Ten minutes later, I'm in the car, on my way to pick up a lady friend, when I get a call:

"Peter, where are you?"

I'm on my way to the city, I tell him.  Why?

"Oh, I got pulled over."

I put down the phone and curse to myself and tell him I'll call him back.  I call my mother, and she's already on her way with his license.

That's right, Pops decided to take an uninsured, unregistered bike out, without any form of ID, which wouldn't have mattered since he's not M-endorsed. Went for a ride onto major, cop-going roads, and got pulled over for not wearing protective eyewear, which is mandatory in IL. That's like five strikes against him.

So it was a young cop, wasn't sure how to handle this fustercluck, when his old-school captain or something pulls up to see what's going on. Captain has words with my father, checks his ID (mom had arrived by then), and tells the young cop he'll handle it. The old cop had taken note of my father's heavy Sicilian accent and foreign sounding name.

"You're in luck Pop," he says. "I'm from the old country too. But this is not the island, you know! You need a license and papers to ride these things," he says, and they have a good laugh. Cop busts his balls for a few minutes more, and lets him off scott free.

I couldn't believe it, but my dad was extremely proud of it.

Hmmm... since you've met every cop on the planet, and found them all to be bastards... you ever consider maybe it's just you?

Never once had a "bad" cop experience.  Except for getting cuffed, but I deserved it...

[t71ford]

You see, Chris is a bad, bad dude...

[Ringo]

Especially when I've been ruffied.

Some say... he can withstand temperatures of more than a thousand degrees.. and that even his gentleman sausage is made of top secret composites.... all we know is... HE'S CALLED RINGO.

I was arrested once. I was driving on an out of state suspended license (I ran a toll booth, and never received the ticket. That unpaid toll booth ticket snowballed into a suspended license). The arresting officer could not have been cooler. He cuffed me with my hands in front. Let me ride in the front seat. We had a nice conversation about married life, and living in the town of Frederick on the way to the local jail.

I took care of the suspended license, and all charges against me were dropped.

Ran into the Arresting Officer a couple of years later at a bar. I bought him a beer. Good Chap.

Ahahaha, that's one spot on Clarksonism.  Nicely done!  I have to steal that for a sig...

I got a story. On the way back home from a 3 hour out own trip I had pulled over on the shoulder to check something on my truck and apparently my wallet fell out of my shorts. Realized it about an hour later and drove all the back to find with no luck. Well I said f it and went home. Two weeks later an Arkansas state trooper calls me and says he just happened to be sitting on the side of the highway and  saw my wallet out of his window. I told him he could get some money of it to mail it to me. Got the wallet a couple days later with the 177 bucks still in it. Didnt even take a dollar. Nice guy

it takes a certain kind of person to be a cop and stay a cop... its their job, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

some people like to be around that power and feel that maybe if they are nice and accepting of that power a little bit of it will come their way...

cctv, speedtraps, rewards for snitching, and cops are the guardians of this big brother system.


i stand by it ACAB.

as for your comment> "obvious troll is obvious."

lol
Hey, I just asked a question... you know, "tongue in cheek". But wow... Paranoid much?

[Ringo]

+1 what a fuggin nutcase.  I work with cops from time to time.  They're almost all really cool guys who put up with a massive amount of shit in their jobs.  *Especially* from the weekend drunk crowd.
