Putting things in perspective.

In light of the event in Memphis, this data put things in perspective.

Pass the attitude test. Don’t fight with the police.

There is an article out there about 3 teens who recently died in Texas near Austin in a car that a police officer was trying to stop for speeding. The teen driver decided to try and drive even faster and get away. The driver lost control passing another car, hit a tree flipped several times and caught fire. The 3 teens died.

The news article seemed to believe this was the police officers fault for attempting to stop the speeding car.

i make it a rule, no matter what, to not get in a peeeeing match on side of road. i do stand my ground in regards to rights however


i got snagged 2 fridays(sat morning) ago at 2:30 ish AM
57 in a 50. police was sitting in an all black suv no reflective stuff on the back
i hit him with brights as i thought it was a disabled car
he waited till i passed and BOOM, on came the lights, and came after me. :thumbs2:

VERY VERY polite young man said howdy, where are you coming from, ( i just dropped off grand child at creamery she works 3 am to 3 pm)
he said ohhh thats early. gave him ,my DL , he walked back to his car, came back with a warning and we bull talked for about 5 minutes on side of road and he said thanks for being a veteran at least 4 times
no body got their feelings hurt and no body did stupid things
i was prepared for a ticket and ran through my mind $$$ and all that.

i bet he was thinking when he stopped me...its 2: 30 am saturday ..drunk, etc etc , but he was 100% polite and not nervy or anything
i bet i looked disheveled, becasue i just got up at 1:30 and was ready to go back to sleep :biggrinjester:


my grand daughter came from a big city where cops are feared and many people dont trust them and of course are not polite to the police
she is slowly understanding how the little attitude things make a world of difference.
