5. I'm going to add those wonderful cops that sit in their cars, hiding with their big, powerful

radar guns.

I got nailed coming down a steep mountain - before I had a chance to slow down.
He was just waiting right there to nab someone. I wonder how many people he ticketed that day.
Had he parked a mile or two further down the road - there would've been alot less tickets to write.
That wonderful police officer cost me $200 for my driving class.

I've never had a good impression of cops - from the one I dated, and yes slept with, in college until I found out he was married with kids - to the one who had his head up his butt when he came out after we were robbed.
And when I see them pepper spray peaceful protesters in the eyes, roll over a protester with their motorcycle, or pull this shit - I lose more respect for them all of the time.

My view is that the majority of police are power hungry because that is what I have witnessed in my 55 years.
Maybe those "protect and serve" stories just never make it to the news?.
