Even moe stupid cop tricks
 
The other day I was driving through a small city in Illinois, when I
noticed a cop come out of a cross street through a red light. He
turned in front of me to go the other way. Fortunately I know enough
to recognize that if a cop is moving he is dangerous, so I avoided
killing him.

He then turned his lights on, swerved to his right, cut in front of a
whole bunch of other cars, and came back my way. **** him if he
thinks I am moving over, he will probably just hit me and blame me.
So I simply allow him to cruise by on my right, cut me off, cut off
someone as he gets back right, et cetera. He then stops at the next
light in the left turn lane. Oh, he had turned off all signals
immediately after turning around.

He then guns it and cuts off everyone when the light turns green. He
even almost hits the oncoming traffic who will eventually turn left
across our lanes. Still no lights.

As I watch ****tard drive away, I notice a vehicle in front of me
swerve into my lane, almost hitting me, because ****tard asshole cop
number two comes barreling out of another side street without lights,
turns and skids across traffic again, almost hits oncoming traffic, as
he is turning on his lights. I thought they were supposed to use them
BEFORE endangering innocent people.

He then turns his off and stops at the next red light. Mind you these
lights are about half the distance apart that Chicago streets on the
SOuth side are going East to West - IE. less than 1/16th of a mile.

As that light is turning green, another idiot cop comes out from the
right again almost hitting asshole cop number two as he blows through
the intersection, both swerving right and left, one barely missing a
parked car.

Seriously, do these guys go to the Charlie Chaplin school of driving
or what?

Eventually we have about 5 squads stopped at the next light, waiting
so they can cut off more traffic, everyone in front of them wondering
which one they are going to pull a Rodney King on. I decided to take
another route and ended up blowing down a 30MPH street at 50MPH or so
knowing that there just aren't enough idiot cops around to actually
see another one.

On the radio today it became apparent what was up. A donut shop, no
joke, had been in the process of being held up, and the "gunman" had
actually hit somebody and presumably made him drop his tray of donuts.
The victim wasn't even hospitalized. I guarantee had this been any
other business, the typical response time of 15 minutes or more would
have been the case.

Everything that was done was necessary for the cops to do their jobs.
You should know this by now, Dave... and be a little more understanding
of how tough it is to be a cop.

Sounds like some good driving to me. They were able to get three units to a
felony in progress through traffic without hitting anything or anyone.
That's what I mean about police vehicles not being ordinary traffic and why
I always give them plenty of room to pass or turn anytime I see one.

So the cop that nearly cliped my car as he did 90mph down a 45mph posted
arterial road was just doing good driving? Hmm... if I did the same
thing, myself having good reflexs and timing would have been cited for
speeding more than 40 over, which is legally very bad in IL, reckless
driving, tailgating, and probably anything else the cop could have come
up with. But the standard for cop driving is 'didn't hit anyone'. Cute.

I thought that your description of what was going on sounded like a code
7-11...

Again, we have an example of how in Jaybird's world someone pretty much
has to get killed before he will admit that a police officer *might*
have made a mistake.

If I'm being held up I want the cops to have the accelerator to the floor.
Perhaps you can let them know if you dial 911 to take their time, only drive
posted speed limits and for pete's sake stay out of the left lane and not
get near anyone else.

(Then again I'm probably killfiled as you disagree with some things I say)

How about just using lights and/or siren as appropriate BEFORE driving
in an illegal manner, as the law requires?

And drive as they do without lights and sirens. I finally see your point.

Perhaps he could have put his lights on? Nahh... better to close in on
someone at 90mph as stealthy as possible and nearly cause a collision.

And I've told this story before, which is why this is the short version.
I followed this cop and caught up with him. I found him parked in a
church parking lot all alone.

Cops generally have taken their time.
