You're right about that, so it isn't going anywhere from here. Not by me.

I finally posted (yesterday, I think) in the "To Protect and Serve" thread. That's me, and my opinions are honest and heartfelt.

So I thought, "what the hell...let 'em see how human you are. Share a few of the funny moments over the years where you ended up standing there realizing the joke was on you." Or another officer with a sense of humor.

Nope. Apparently, some here want robots. Right is right, wrong is wrong. Black and white. No grey. And definitely no warped humor.

That ain't me. It never will be. And I'm perfectly okay with that.

Go Vols.

Since I was the first to take it down the other path I will say I was being serious when I said I thought it was a funny story. I was just poking fun with the next line (even if there was a tinge of truth to it).

I grew up a cop's kid. My mother was a corrections officer. I totally understand LEOs are human.

No worries, man. I've got thick skin.

But I don't like being on the pointy end of devisive subjects on VN, and this clearly is one. It's best to just keep being who I am (I have no shame in that regard), do what I do, and live and let live.

I come here for entertainment and information. If I want a fight, I know where and how to find a real one.

Go Vols.

I'm just excited to know that state troopers have a sense of humor as well. Most the ones I ever met would write their own mother a ticket.

Hey GreyWolf, y'all ever play a round of chicken with your pistols and bullet proof vests? That would be funny.

Some of them do, but yes, they are a rare breed.

If you get time, go on the Officer Down Memorial Page (ODMP.org). Look up a GSP trooper named Mike Young.
Might be under his given name of Michael Douglas Young. He was GSP674. Mad Dog.

Best trooper I ever had the privilege to work with, and one of the most humble men you will ever meet. Devout Christian man, husband, and father to two beautiful girls (ladies now). And Mike had the same sense of humor I do.

I was at Mike's wreck. And I cried like a child at the hospital when the full extent of his injuries became known.

I learned a lot from Mike. More than I could cover here. The one thing that sticks with me to this day is this: "Greater love hath no man than this..."

That was Mike. That was how he lived, and that was how he died. If I end up as half the cop Mike was, I'm in good company.

Yes, some of us are human indeed.

I tried to explain that my foot slipped of the clutch. He wasn't buying it. ( tires broke loose at 50) :)

I'll do that.

My cousin was a Fayette County Tennessee deputy that was killed in the line of duty. (Years ago)

He wasn't your typical cop either. Just an ole country boy that everyone liked. Great sense of humor and never over stepped the lines as an officer.

Since I have *****ed up a storm in this thread I will actually add a funny police story to it.

Uncle/Godfather is a retire CHIP.

Back when he did patrol he was in hot pursuit one time in his cruiser.

Person he was chasing got pushed off the road by another cop.

My Uncle knowing he was about to be in a foot race went for his Shotgun as he was pulling in so he could jump out the minute his vehicle stopped.

As he went for the shotgun though he somehow pulled the trigger and literally blew the top off his cruiser as he pulled in.

The incident was caught on tape and I guess the were more than happy to play it over and over again for him for years to come.

My mom's best friend is a dispatcher for our local PD. As a sendoff for me before I left for basic she had a couple of her cop buddies come out and "arrest" me. I was this 18 year old scared to death kid and these two cops came in my bedroom and gave me the run around for about 10 minutes. When they took me out of my room in handcuffs and my mom was sitting at the kitchen table laughing her rear end off I finally realized it was a prank.

I have had a bunch of interactions with the police and am having a hard time trying to think of a "funny" one. :p

I find great humor in the story and find it appalling that so many are crying over the supposed hypocrisy over the ordeal. Enjoy the few times you get to have fun with job and don't worry about the others.

I dont find it funny.

The cop was driving 133 with his lights off and not in pursuit just to get a laugh out of anothrr cop.

A civilian does that and gives you the same excuse and you are booking him for speeding and maybe felony charges due to speed.

This is why so many are sick of cops.

133 mph?

What if he lost control and killed some one?

I'm with you 100%! I knew a KPD cop back in the day and we would go out drinking. I would call a can for us and he'd laugh at me, call a few cops and they'd escort him home all while he's trashed behind the wheel. I asked every time for him to call a cab or ride in my taxi but he said he didn't have to worry about it. It got old and I just quit Benny friends with him.

I'm sure this guys story and the guy I knew are nothing to this crap they get away with

Cops pulling me over because my truck was nice when I was 17, not funny. Helping a memphis cop put a deer out its misery, priceless! He was a trip ! K9 cop back in 2008 on appling just past Bellevue, you know who you are! With your dull smith and Wesson tac knife , crying beside the deer some old lady hit, I pulled up at the right time, he was about to finish it off with a butter knife! I got my bark river with a quick thrust to the base of the skull it was over. He wanted some meat so I cut out the tenderloins and what was left of the back straps and he never really stopped crying! Poor guy, so sensitive

Sheriff Reynolds? Back in 06? That was sad. Fayette county has always been a trap zone, but I've never had a bad experience the Leo's there just want to protect their county. A lot of meth in and out. I had one Hispanic looking cop actually take me to get my flat fixed and back on the road going deer hunting one day .

CHP vs. USMC

Top this for a speeding ticket

Two California Highway Patrol Officers were conducting speeding enforcement on I-15, just north of the Marine Corps Air Station at Miramar. One of the officers was using a hand held radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching the crest of a hill.

The officers were suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading 300 miles per hour. The officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not reset and then turned off.

Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in fact locked on to a USMC F/A-18 Hornet which was engaged in a low flying exercise near the location.

Back at the CHP Headquarters the Patrol Captain fired off a complaint to the USMC Base Commander. The reply came back in true USMC style: Thank you for your letter. We can now complete the file on this incident.

You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Hornet had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked on to, your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it, which is why it shut down.

Furthermore, an Air-to-Ground missile aboard the fully armed aircraft had also automatically locked on to your equipment location.

Fortunately, the Marine Pilot flying the Hornet recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile system alert status and was able to override the automated defense system before the missile was launched to destroy the hostile radar position.

The pilot also suggests you cover your mouths when cussing at them, since the video systems on these jets are very high tech. Sergeant Johnson, the officer holding the radar gun, should get his dentist to check his left rear molar. It appears the filling is loose. Also, the snap is broken on his holster.

Thank you for your concern. Semper Fi.
