Topic: cheez it, the cops are here,

[Don R]

 The cops just stopped by for a chat, it seems a white car like the one with the cold engine in my driveway was involved in a hit and run minutes ago. Our car has a small hole in the bumper cover. My daughter hit a truck's ball hitch at an intersection 5 years ago. She couldn't pay the deductible so it never got fixed.
 Well now here I am answering questions about a small hole in a bumper cover to a young officer that just TOLD ME the engine is cold.
 I'm not sure why he even rang my doorbell. The second officer put his hand on the hood and said, that's not it, lets GO!
 I think it was a special crime unit from Pennsylvania, the Keystone cops. It was really quite funny. I was very careful not to excite them more than they already were.

The first time I heard the term Keystone Cops was my grandmother, but I can't remember the occaision.

You are lucky thy didn't shoot you because they shoot to kill. Or choke you to death.

Keystone cops were funny.

".......I think it was a special crime unit from Pennsylvania, the Keystone cops."

  I have a friend who was pulled over by multiple police cars one time , pulled from the car guns drawn and thrown face down in the middle of the road.  His car matched the description of a bank robbery suspect that had just occurred in the area.

I had a goon riffling through my van one time and he cam up and said "If you're honest with me, I'll be easy on you."

He looked me in the eye and asked " Where's the gun?"

I guess he had looked through some boxes from helping a friend clean out a garage and there was a .410 shell in one of them, so he had to find a gun, too.  What a goon.

He turned out to be a real  idiot and I beat his charges and made a fool of the prosecutor who went and appealed it twice and got spanked both times.  His little village got incorporated and he lost his job running his checkpoint, and I doubt he stayed on after they got incorporated into big town.

Prosecutors  don't like it when you screw up their percentage, but she tripled the loss  by being an idiot in appeals court, too.

Many moons ago a co-worker who liked to camp a lot found his entire drive at his house filled with police cars with search warrant in hand looking for drugs. He had taken his truck for repairs a day earlier and the shop owner saw something suspicious in the glove box and notified police but rather than confront my friend about it from the start they figured they'd let him drive the truck home and then bust him because they were sure he must be a drug dealer or something. My friend had absolutely no idea what the police were talking about because as far as he was concerned there was no drugs in his truck but the officer in charge kept insisting that he knew what marijuana looked like and that some was seen in my friend's truck. This was before our local police had drug sniffing dogs and my friend was just beating himself up trying to figure out what the h*** the police were talking about. While he's wracking his brain his delightful daughter who was maybe 5 or 6 at the time was trying to be helpful and telling the police where all the hiding spots were in the house and that's where an extreme sense of urgency hit him because although he wasn't a drug dealer he was however a recreational pot smoker so there was at least a little bit of marijuana in the house and although it was well hid at least so he thought he figured his charming daughter who was telling the cops where all the hiding places were may have figured out where it was too ...... so he had to come up with something fast and that's when it hit him.

He leaps out of his chair and runs to his truck with the cops right on his heels to make sure he doesn't tamper with evidence, he opens up the glove box of his truck and whips out a zip lock baggie and says "is this what you guys are talking about?" It wasn't pot at all, what it was was a baggie that had some finely ground up wood chips soaked in sterno that my friend used when ever he went camping to help him start a campfire with however it had been a while since he last went camping and had forgotten all about it. Once the police realized their mistake they one by one quietly got back into their patrol cars and left leaving the one police officer who claimed to be an expert on marijuana looking pretty silly.

 I didn't mind the small amount of time they spent here, and we were all very polite ( I do respect the job, I wouldn't do it) but the officer told me my engine was cold and it couldn't be the car, yet here he was talking to me about a trailer ball size tear in the bumper cover while the hit and run guy was getting away. The other officer set them straight, that ain't it, lets go!

 I saw a video about my rights and how I'm supposed to say I don't answer questions and hand the cops a card that says I don't give up my 4th 5th and 6th amendment rights. I see no point in directing attention to me by being a jerk.

That was ME! In 1974, when I came to Colorado, was driving a white Toyota full of me, my 1st wife, clothes, and our parakeet. Came over the hill at 60 MPH into a roadblock, state patrol, guns pulled and pointed at me! Turns out the town behind me just had a bank robbery, the crooks left in a white car.

Welcome to Colorado! They carried 1911 .45 ACP in those days, recognized it immediately!

Sadly, exactly true as our so called police forces in this country are now just a sickening joke!

that link was an interesting point of view Eric...and probably the first non-bike related thing you've posted that I agree with

[goofy3392]

Eric garner has an extensive police record. He could of abided the police commands and been a man and faced his day in court. Instead he resisted arrest and was brought down to the ground with a legal move. It was not a choke hold. Also when you can still talk, you can still breathe. So all he had to do was put his hands behind his back.

Everyone is making a huge deal about him and mike brown, both cases are their own fault. All you have to do is respect the cops command and you'll be ok.
