What are your local police like?

16. As a middle aged woman who mainly drives an old mini van, I am almost invisible to

cops anywhere!

I live in an unincorporated city in a large semi-rural (70% redneck) county just next to St. Louis county. The deputies here deal mainly with meth makers (an apartment on the street next to us blew up about 10 years ago, the EPA had to get in on that one!).

I did witness the tail end of a beating they gave my neighbor. He called them himself because he was drunk and was kicking up his own back door. I talked to his wife afterward and she assured me he did not beat her, but I guess it's still domestic abuse. But they didn't have to use such brutal force.

A couple of years ago, there was a kidnapping/jewelry store event. It was shocking because this is such a low crime area. The deputies handled it very well, no one got hurt, they caught the "bad guy". They ended up catching them using a strip tack on the road about a mile from my house. It was pretty freaky, like a movie.

So, I guess around here it is sort of a wash! Good cop/bad cop!
