It's Not Fair
FOUND by Marc
in Los Angeles, California
I was sitting in this restaurant in the Highland Park area, looking out the window. A man came up to a police cruiser and placed a note on the window. A bunch of people in the restaurant saw this and wondered about it. The cops were eating in the restaurant but didn't know this was happening. The cops eventually left and saw the note, read it and spoke with one another while looking up and down the street to see if they could find the note's author. Everyone was wondering what the note might have said. Finding no suspects, one of the cops went over to a trash can and threw out the note. They eventually got into their cruiser and took off.
My curiosity was getting the best of me, so I got up and went to retrieve the note from the trash. I went back into the restaurant knowing that everyone else was curious, so I read the note out loud. We all had a good laugh.

Sounds like a couple of true LA pigs to me.
I wish people would learn how to spell.
They have a point.
My ex became a cop. He speeds, breaks laws and thinks he is above the law. His thinking? Aw, I am a cop! It is a professional courtesy to let a cop off the hook when they speed, drive on the wrong side of the street, etc. He has had cops come after him only to leave because they ran his plates and it came back that he is a cop. I told him he has become an ass. He laughed, but I told him it was true. He used to be a nice man but now he has the "cop mentality" that is prevalent in Los Angeles. Then cops wonder why people hate them? The only thing cops go to jail for is drunk driving. The judge throws the book at them because they know better.

fucking pigs.
I once left an angry note on a cop car, and I forgot about it until now. They had driven up onto a side walk, and then another car was diagonal in the middle of the street. Nothing was even serious, they were just talking to some old Korean people, and I was heated. So I told them I was sick of their shit and their time would come...didn't work, pigs is still shit!
I'm glad you read the note out loud, Marc. I'd want to hear it, too. I am highly amused that the cops were oblivious to what was happening while everyone in the diner saw it.
Maybe we should have a 2nd team of cops to give parking tickets to the 1st cops. the 1st cops would not issue tickets, only investigate murders and kidnappings and stuff. but then the 2nd ones could park bad, so we would need a 3rd team, but then they would park bad . . .
never mind, stupid idea
I live in this area. Police always do stupid things like this. Especially because this area is not a HIGH INCOME AREA!
AWE.SOME. Both the find and the story. I'm truly inspired by all parties.
Bree:
I don't know your ex but I bet I would hate him. I was almost ran over by a cop when I was young. My mom let me cross the street (for the first time) by myself while she watched so that I could get the mail. We lived at the top of a hill where two streets interected. And on both sides of the street pine trees lined the road. Well I looked both ways and started to cross and just as I was almost to the other side I hear an asshole gun his engine. That asshole was a cop. He didn't see me until it was almost too late. I ended up eating gravel because I had to throw myself the last couple of feet so I won't get hit. My mom called the sheriff and all that guy got was a slap on the wrist. Did I mention I don't like cops?
They do have a point.
It's not fair to sit pown in the red at a bus stop.
It's not just LA cops. They're all like your ex, Bree. Arrogant a$$holes.
I live on a precinct block in NYC. The police park their personal cars and their little electric ticket scooters in front of a fire hydrant down the street all the time. I wonder what they would do if a fire truck couldn't put out a fire at a loved one's house because there was a car in front of the only hydrant on the block? The police have a tough job but I do think they take too many liberties.
this is a true story i swear. i was in the cape on vaca with my friends and we noticed there were a ton of cops in the same two neighborhoods turning their sirens on and then off again when they drove past each other. the more we watched the more it seemed like they were playing a giant game of "flash light" tag.
i love the note & the story. check out this story involving an ex cop - http://www.wave3.com/global/Story.asp?s=6617030
"Fucken" is one of my greatest language pet peeves. It drives me right up the fuckin' wall.
LOL i love the story behind this
