JUST A LITTLE RANT

• glenmar Posted : 4/13/2006 6:32:52 AM Ron, I think he was a bite crazed with his power.  I wasn't trying to defy the man, but dang it, I was on MY OWN property!!  And not hurting anyone but my poor frozen butt.  The fact that I didn't get up really enraged him, but I could NOT stand right then...and when I finally DID get up it was one of those hands and knees kinda deals....rather humiliating honestly.   AFTER I finished shaking from having a gun pulled on me, after I crawled on hands and knees and got myself into the house......thats when I called the post and raised unholy heck.   But hey, next time you get a couple feet of snow I'll come down and see what kind of reaction I get in Texas.....after all, they still know how to treat women there!!  Heck, the cops down there would probably shovel FOR me!! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Debbie R Posted : 4/13/2006 7:09:55 AM I power walk and I would be hard-pressed to be able to get across five lanes in twenty seconds! Let's time the COP and see how long it takes for him/her to get across.[sm=soap%20box.gif]   But lori, I bet if we time him going for donuts and coffee, we will get a different result 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• fuzzy_dogs_mom Posted : 4/13/2006 2:23:22 PM OMG, Glenda.  I'm glad you were able to get him *properly chastised*.  He SHOULD be permanently chained to a desk.  We don't have anywhere near the amount of traffic here that they do in LA but every time I have to cross a street with Max, darned if he doesn't find something wonderful and yummy stuck to the pavement right in the center. Once I had to literally drag him to the curb because he noticed a dog coming way behind us, and decided to turn around and lie down and wait for him.[] Fortunately, there wasn't a traffic light there. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• lorib Posted : 4/14/2006 1:27:20 AM Since I work for the city, I have contact with the cops EVERY day.  The folks here are great.  However, one of my former neighbors is doing jail time for robbing several pharmacies and check cashing places to support he and his wife's Oxycontin habits.  He was...a county sherriff. Go figggger that 'un out![8|] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• fuzzy_dogs_mom Posted : 4/14/2006 2:46:35 PM The thing is that LA is a huge, congested city with a lot of high crime areas and apparently driving like a maniac on crack is mandatory.  You'd think the city's finest would have enough to keep them busy without harassing little old ladies who can't make it across the street in 20 seconds. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• ron2 Posted : 4/15/2006 6:36:45 AM A lot of cops are taking the easy way to feeling powerful. That young-un cop could spend more time keeping an eye on the hellion that has been vandalizing your property but that would be actual work. Or, he cane pick on a 50-something woman with a bum hip who has fallen and can't get up. So, he picked on you. Ooh! Tough guy! I can think of other things to do to help a half-naked woman in the snow than pull out a firearm. Like, help her up and back to the house to get warm. I might just score some hot chocolate and cookies out of the deal. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• glenmar Posted : 4/15/2006 7:51:45 AM Well, half naked is STRETCHING it a bit....I didn't take my sweatshirt off, although I WAS warm in it, cuz I just had a tank top on underneath it...... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• lorib Posted : 4/16/2006 2:13:54 AM Ron, the mental picture here...OMG!!! I am not going to bother with one of those Life Alert badges--I am just hoping RON moves in next door! Yep, I would make you some hot chocolate too![] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
