Why do they say the cops will be out on Super Bowl Day, you can drive all day and not see one cop.?

Question

They are announcing again that the cops will be out on Super Bowl Day watching for drunk drivers, etc, but we drive all day long and never see one cop or highway patrol or anything. Other drivers must have known there were not going to be any cops out because they were all speeding about 120 mph and using the diamond lanes for two or more people per car with only one person in the car, etc. Guess they knew it was their day to speed and break every traffic law with no fear of being caught.

Well the minute you get pulled over, I bet you will be one of the people in here crying that cops don't catch real criminals and only pick on speeder and other traffic violaters. You can't have it both ways. Take a minute and read this........

THE GREAT POLICE OFFICER
Well, Mr. Citizen, it seems you've figured me out. I seem to fit neatly into the category where you've placed me.

I'm stereotyped, standardized, characterized, classified, grouped, and always typical. Unfortunately, the reverse is true. I can never figure you out.

From birth you teach your children that I'm the bogeyman, then you're shocked when they identify with my traditional enemy, the criminal!

You accuse me of coddling criminals: until I catch your kids doing wrong.

You may take an hour for lunch and several coffee breaks each day, but point me out as a loafer for having one cup. You pride yourself on your manners, but think nothing of disrupting my meals with your troubles.

You raise hell with the guy who cuts you off in traffic, but let me catch you doing the same thing and I'm picking on you. You know all the traffic laws...but you've never gotten a single ticket you deserve.

You shout "foul" if you observe me driving fast to a call, but raise the roof if I take more than ten seconds to respond to your complaint.

You call it part of my job if someone strikes me, but call it police brutality if I strike back. You wouldn't think of telling your dentist how to pull a tooth or your doctor how to take out an appendix, yet your always willing give me pointers on the law.

You talk to me in a manner that would get you a bloody nose from anyone else, but expect me to take it without batting an eye.

You yell something's got to be done to fight crime, but you can't be bothered to get involved.

You have no use for me at all, but of course it's OK if I change a flat for your wife, deliver your child in the back of the patrol car, or perhaps save your son's life with mouth to mouth breathing, or work many hours overtime looking for your lost daughter.

So, Mr. Citizen, you can stand there on your soapbox and rant and rave about the way I do my work, calling me every name in the book, but never stop to think that your property, family, or maybe even your life depends on me or one of my buddies.

Yes, Mr. Citizen, it's me...the lousy cop!

Answer 2

Guess you are big on stereotypes. Thank Goodness you aren't using racial sterotypes because then you would be condemned. It's always safe to take potshots at cops though, because they have to listen to the drivel and whining from brave people like you who do it anonymously.
I am sure you will complain and get this answer bounced because it's more fun to dish it out than it is to take it.
If you got a ticket for speeding, you would be mad all the way to your parents basement and short out your XBox that Mom and Dad bought you... So, cops really can't win for losing with people like you, but thank our lucky stars we don't care because your opinion is meaningless.

Answer 3

You are right about that. After six years of observing this Bush administration you will notice the one thing thing that stays consistent"What ever he says, You can be sure the opposite will be done.
Then there is the regular fear mongering they revile in. My only concern is that with the blathering along with obvious NO SHOW of cops is perhaps they are planning another terror party.

Answer 4

You must not live in a town with a lot of crime, or police business. It's either that, or they're all watching the game & are ****-faced drunk.
