Good cop stories

For the sake of balance.

The only crime I've been a victim of was a stolen lawnmower, so I don't have any stories of cops helping me out in that way. But last week I got pulled over for going 72 in a 55. Just got a warning. Officer was polite the whole time.

One day I was trying to make a left turn and a big SUV full of men swerved in front of me. My window was rolled down and I yelled, "ASSHOLE!"

It turned out to be an SUV full of cops. They put on their portable red light and gestured me over to the parking lot of a nearby supermarket.

I immediately gestured to a bystander and asked him to be my witness. Then I lined up still a second witness, saying I was about to be railroaded by the cops.

One cop got out of the SUV and asked me what I called him. I said, "You got a hearing problem?" He kept trying to get me to call him an "asshole" again but I danced around it with questions like that one.

Meanwhile, I suggested he get his colleagues out of the SUV so my witnesses could see five cops badgering one woman (in a gas-saving vehicle).

At this point they decided to back off and go about their way. As they drove off I yelled, "Assholes!"

Guess I was in a belligerant mood that day.

Lest you question my maturity, I was in my 40s when that happened, LOL.
