911 is a joke in my town

Posted on July 19, 2005 @ 4:19 pm

I’ve written about the laziness of the local police force before, but I witnessed the phenomenon at a whole new level this afternoon. A couple of cops had parked their cruiser downtown and were enforcing the law via loudspeaker. They just sat there, waiting for someone to break a law and then admonishing them with their car’s PA system.

“You in the white van — you need to put money in the meter.”

“Please don’t pull up past the white line into the intersection, red Tercel.”

“Man in the pink shirt — please don’t cross against the light.”

Honestly, is this what law enforcement is coming to these days? Oh, and I’ll have you know that my shirt isn’t pink. It’s salmon.

    It’s not pink! I was about to spoil “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” for someone and they decked me rather than face the truth about the book. I was bleeding and my white shirt got soaked.

    Well its better than the police in the area here. Called them to break up a possible fight at a bowling alley and they asked us, what we wanted them to do about the situation, even after we explained it. Cops are lazy and they enjoy pulling people over for speeding on empty highways.

    At least it isn’t the LAPD!

    Problem: Drug-crazed man holds baby at gunpoint.
    Solution: Shoot and kill baby.
