She has a routine to follow and after speaking a few minutes to me I just got the impression her interest in me as a suspect had waned. IOW, she knew I didn't do it and wasn't going to make my life any more miserable than she absolutely had to. <BR/><BR/>But yeah, I've met my share of buttheads also. Cops are human and some don't fit the Joe Friday stereotype. I had several relatives on the NYPD and they spanned the spectrum. One would have ticketed his own mother, another was Mister Easygoing, a third did everything he could to get assigned where the action (violence) was. They've a tough job and I don't envy it. <BR/><BR/>Having been career military (and I know you were also) I know a bit of what it's like to have folks despise you for nothing in particular. They just distrust you because you're one of "them". And the fact that "them" are responsible for the safety and wellbeing of our society doesn't seem to register. <BR/><BR/>So it's a tough job cops have and I always try giving them the benefit of the doubt.<BR/><BR/>BTW, did you ever give a little "vigilante justice" to the idiot who tried robbing you?Subvethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13523683273450353313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36003957.post-82254989978690057462007-07-24T20:48:00.000-05:002007-07-24T20:48:00.000-05:00this situation re-defines "aggravating"this situation re-defines "aggravating"MightyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02563721884001643857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36003957.post-40671477455586411952007-07-23T19:39:00.000-05:002007-07-23T19:39:00.000-05:00I know what you mean about cops... right after my ...I know what you mean about cops... right after my LB and I moved into our first apartment - like I mean moving day - our apartment was broken into. <BR/><BR/>It was on the ground floor, and I saw the guy in my bedroom. He saw me, and ran. I jumped through the open window (we had accidently left the window open and the would-be thief popped the screen off) into my bedroom and chased him through the apartment and into the woods, but lost him because it was pitch black. Good thing I didn't catch him because I used to carry a huge Buck lock-knife in my back pocket in those days. <BR/><BR/>I reported it to the police. It was the 1st real crime they'd had in Plainfield, CT in 15-16 years, according to the cop who came round. On my way to the parking lot the next morning I saw him, and again chased him - into his apartment! He lived in the next wing over. So I called the cops again. They did NOTHING! <BR/><BR/>I told the the apartment manager (who was a friend of my aunt - who hooked us up with the apartment and got us a good rent) about it, and she did nothing, as well. <BR/><BR/>A month later the same cop gave me a speeding ticket.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36003957.post-38622539993398646052007-07-23T09:32:00.000-05:002007-07-23T09:32:00.000-05:00Hey...Thats MISTER asshole t'you mate....had a you...Hey...Thats MISTER asshole t'you mate....had a young JG say that to me once...LOLOLOL....Cookie.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/00949670068350863770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36003957.post-54581295410765413092007-07-22T22:47:00.000-05:002007-07-22T22:47:00.000-05:00Cookie, LOL, you asshole!!Cookie, LOL, you asshole!!Subvethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13523683273450353313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36003957.post-60656340693985594062007-07-22T07:40:00.000-05:002007-07-22T07:40:00.000-05:00I dunno Subvet....sounds t'me like ya mighta just ...I dunno Subvet....sounds t'me like ya mighta just dun this here dastardly deed....I mean us Boat sailors always gets even....Cookie.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/00949670068350863770noreply@blogger.com
