Sooo... a Brooklyn police officer knows this site well enough to look it up by it's correct name.

Hmmmm.

Weeeell, since I'm outta your jurisdiction, I guess it's cool, although I am about to dislocate my hip, kickin' myself in the ASS for some of the shit I've said here recently, now.

siiiigh....
*shaking head ruefully*

Ah well. Cops are people, too. Must remember that. Yes, they're people... people with guns and handcuffs who make me shake whether I'm guilty of anything or not, basically, but people.

This shaking shit really does get on my nerves, too. Hell, I usedta WORK for cops back in Jersey. Dispatched lots of 'em. Used to tell people I got paid to tell cops where to go. (That always got a giggle...)

Also, it helps that I'm the kinda person, who when stopped for a traffic thingy of any kind, cooperates, behaves, smiles and usually tries to make the cop smile, too. I do this in various ways... one of the best ways is to hand them 4 documents when they ask for 'em.

They want your license, reg and insurance card. I give 'em all that shit, but I also hand them, on the bottom of the stack, a "Get Out of Jail Free" card from my Monopoly game. If that doesn't get a giggle, I'm pretty much screwed, I know, so it's a good way to gauge what kinda cop's got me.

Ya know which kinda cops I get along with the best? The ones everybody else in town hates. Like the poor bastard who ticketed me lo, those many months ago. I really like that guy and now that I'm all legal and shit again, I almost can't wait til he stops me again, just so I can show him my license and shit and point out to him that the reason he's probably having a hard time remembering me is because I behaved so well while I was suspended. That's one thing I can say. I did behave, didn't drive at all and he laid not one eye on me one time.

Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY, I've said his name to has the same reaction. Their faces screw up and they spew expletives better'n I do. They HATE this guy. He gets compared to a Brownshirt/Nazi all the time, but I think he's cool as hell. Cute, too. In a tall, strapping, armed, blonde, copglasses kinda way. Scary, but nice. Him, I got to smile several times, while he wrote my numerous tickets. (Three, I think... I forget, which is probably part of why I like him so much, so let's just leave that that way, 'kay?)

Jesus, I could go on forever about cops. In fact, I do believe I've threatened to do so before, have I not? I've got a small department's worth of 'em in my family, I worked for 'em for YEARS... and I have more stories about those goobers... I mean GUYS, than hell patch a mile, so....

Anyway, Officer... Sir... feel free to say "Hi" if ya want. I won't let anybody give you shit here... unless, of course, you're not a REAL police officer and are just some bully with a gun and cuffs who happens to work for the NYPD and gives cops a bad name. I've known my share of those kinda cop/guys too and I can spot 'em a mile off.
(Those kind of "cops" I DO have a major problem with, as do all the other good men in uniform who pay the price for guys like them.)

And hey... did you know that Eddie Money used to be a cop in NYC? Yep, he sure was. His real last name is Mahoney and it runs in his family. Man, I love that guy. "Two Tickets to Paradise"... "Baby, Hold On"... aw man, I miss him.

Gotta go find my tapes. Need to hear "Two Tickets" now. Hey... "tickets"/ex-cop. Heh. Just hit me. How ironic.

Hey now. THERE'S an idea. People would like all cops lots more if they'd hand out tickets to Paradise insteada court.
Just something to consider.
*giggle*

Peace

1 There's something about a lil' power, huh?

I've always said that there are two kinds of cops: ones that want to do good, avoid evil and help their fellow man, and the other kind. The ones that got their asses kicked every day in high school and now have a badge, a gun, and an attitude.

Ahhh well.

Brooklyn cop, eh? Maybe he was doing research on Frank Serpico? LMAO!
