To Protect And Serve?



Is it just me? Or do you feel nervous and uneasy when you spot a police car? Seriously, when I'm in my car and I spot a police car I scroll down a mental checklist of possible reasons for me to be pulled over. Some of you might read this and think I'm blowing it out of proportion or being extreme. That might be the case if I felt that the officers main priority was to PROTECT AND SERVE. Sadly this is no longer the case. Don't get me wrong there are cops who hold true to what the perception of a Police Officer should be, but the reality is that the cops you see nowadays are "Working". What does this mean? It means that these Officers need to meet their QUOTA. By that I mean there's a specific number of tickets they must give out to us, EVERYDAY HARDWORKING TAX PAYING CITIZENS! in order for whatever their numerical goal for that particular month to be met. It's like being a gazelle, roaming around an open field with tall grass.... When all of a sudden a BAM! A leopard pounces on you, wraps its fangs around your neck, and waits for your life to slowly come to an end. After your last gasp of breath leaves your body, the leopard writes you a ticket for not wearing a seat belt.........FML!!

  1. LOL!!I feel you brotha, for a long time I felt that I had a huge neon sign on my car that said "License is Suspended", cuz I got pulled over for the stupidest s**t. FIVE YEARS my licence was suspended.. got a 90 day suspended sentence and I'm happy to say that I have my licence back but it didnt take long for me to get pulled over again. Driving to a Mets game this past September (save the insults for another time please) I got pulled over but luckily the cop was a mets fan and saw we all had mes gear on and told him we was going to the game to he JUST gave me a $115 ticket.. FML
