Incident With The Police

I was waiting at a stoplight today when a car pulled up beside me. I looked over and noticed ‘Spotsylvania County Police’ on the side. My Last Post instantly came to mind. So, I looked up and the officer was waving at me. My mind went a little spastic.

Ohhh crap. I hope I didn’t offend anyone with my late night editing poor attempt at humor. Do they have a picture of me with ‘Smart-Ass at large’ written in bold block letters hanging in the station? Am I in big trouble? You know what they say about southern cops.

I once saw a rather burly Spotsylvania police officer tackle a 5 ft 100lb drunken woman flat on the pavement. She refused to stop walking away. I was watching his face as he was running towards her. He had a weird disconnected look. Like kids get when they are over excited and can’t think straight. Except kids usually don’t have a gun. Then they arrested her boyfriend because he was pleading “Don’t hurt her.”

Let’s just say I was worried when I nervously looked in my rear view window. That’s when I saw them. Yeap, my kids were smiling and waving at the officer. I grinned real big and waved back. He looked like a nice guy.

My kids were with me that day I saw the other officer. They wanted to know why the bad guy was hurting that lady. They were very young and I guess they don’t remember it now. I remember though, and I wonder what ever happened to the boyfriend. He seemed like the type of person you could trust. I wish I could say the same thing about that officer.

Anyway, looks like I’m safe for now. At least until I publish this post. Didn’t think this blogging stuff was such serious business.

All right, so I wasn’t really that worried. Busted!
