Weird things happen to those who run in strange neighborhoods

Posted almost 5 years ago
Had another moment today, this one of the Cops variety. It was a beautiful day here in Minnesota, and I took full advantage by loading up my ipod with spring music. It was a balmy 45 degrees out, which meant it was shorts weather, and I decided to go out for a run. Nothing beats a run to good music in my opinion, and today was one of the first days in a while I wasnt going to teacher meetings in order to get my teaching license back up to code. As I was running a slew, and I do mean slew, of cop cars came out of nowhere. I have always been a big fan of the show Cops, and it was just like a scene from the show. One of the patrol cars cut in front of me, and the officer told me to stop. I thought this was a little alarming, but I did stop to find out they were chasing after 5 guys who had just pistol whipped a cashier at a local Best Buy. I was told to stay next to the police officer, because the 5 men were considered armed and dangerous. So, for the next 5 minutes I sat and waited as they combed the neighborhood, searching for the culprits. What made the excitement that much more enjoyable was the song playing on my ipod while I was watching. For some reason it seemed to fit what was going on around me.

    Rawkkiddoh says Crash, that song would have made it so much more enjoyable. I am sitting here thinking about the whole deal, and laughing out loud in fact.

    Nixne Svix says as my spiritual father Dr. H.S.Thompson said "bad weirdness". i feel ya Kev. , I was raised a naive Kansas suburbanite only to be thrust into this what i'd call" bad craziness"that was mid-eighties Cocaine Florida at the tender age of 13. If you watch those original , old C.O.P. reality shows that came later , its all Broward County. My Teen age years , all around there. Not some of the exact places , but close enough. My brother is a DEA attectched detective in South Florida still , and its all "Bad Craziness". Before the COPS show, I used to see them filming Miami Vice episodes around Fort Lauderdale Beach, which i skated around alot at the time. I have some nutty stories and a few scars. That part of Florida is a fucking monkey jungle. Image Hosted by ImageShack.us i know it dont look bad now , but back in the day...

    Rawkkiddoh says Great story Cam, living in the midwest has shielded me from a lot of things like that. Once I was thrust into it today, everything seemed to go into slow motion. I could not imagine the stress that must come from doing that as work on a daily basis. My neighbor is a cop on the Minneapolis force, and he does his best not to talk about it too much. I can understand why.

    Augusts1 says Cool song. The vid is cool too BUT I didn't like the fact that the cartoon band members looked so much better than the real ones, not that it matters what they really look like. A real cop moment is always surreal(not that I've had many mind you). Sorry but I hate the show Cops since it just glorifies the brutalization they give people unnecessarily(sometimes necessary but most times not). The other day I was in the square downtown of my city where I met a good friend of mine. Two african americans guys walked by & my friend(who's also african american) asked if he could buy a cig. We were sitting down & my friend got up & walked over where they were. Out of nowhere a cop walks up & asks them what they are doing & asks my friend for his ID. I shook my head & said 'OMG, 3 black men together, they must be a gang!' He didn't respond. You don't know the harassment by policemen my friend has had to endure being in a predominantly white area. I've witnessed this other times too. It really makes me angry the racial profiling the police do. It sucks!

    Rawkkiddoh says Someone tell Ashley's husband to block his throat. As for the ear bud thing, it had to come out when I could not hear what he was saying to me, but went right back in once he was done speaking. I felt it made the moment that much better.

    chucky says Heh - funny guy. Bah. Cops scare the pure piss out of me, I won't lie. I wouldn't take a chance that they thought I was being disrespectful. Did you read that story about the lady who was convicted of a felony and (originally) sentenced to two years in prison for throwing a cup of ice at another car? I saw it today on msn. That happened in the county I live in. The cops here (hell, the whole system here) are corrupt and evil and roided up.

    chucky says I have a theory that most cops became cops for the rush of power. I actually have the same theory about teachers, heh. (Kev, you aren't one of those are you? I don't think so, but I could be wrong. haha). Fun fact, I read a few years ago that swingers were more likely to be cops and teachers than any other profession. Weird.

    Nixne Svix says my brother came back from gulf war one and wanted to be a Fire Fighter , but couldnt get hired ...so he became a cop. Sometimes you become what you are because you have to , in his case it was his daughter, im not trying to be in your face or dramatic. Just saying that in my brothers case , he became an asshole roider cop - because it just happened. At least he is past the traffic cop stage and actually busts crack head gang banger drug dealers , whom are a threat. All the while he knows darn well , his two little brothers and sis all partake in a bit of the ...puff. but doesnt care... Anyhow, I know a lot of cops -all could be classified as assholes ,they arent all bad...but I feel you all, ive had my brushes. Ash ,if you encounter a live cop in the wild- just be honest...cops just want honesty, all they get is lies. As for the rest of the dick head pigs...fuck the police!

    Rawkkiddoh says AshleyI would rather let someone else take the power, I am in it for all the latest videogame cheat codes.Oh, and I did see that ariticle about the lady who got 2 years in prison, and if that doesnt get overturned I am moving to Canada. Cam, like in an profession, you get the crunchy with the smooth. As a former skate rat kid I have seem my fair share of pricks. Then there is my next door neighbor who is the nicest guy in the world. I guess dem da brakes.

    chucky says .............. *cam*, of course. All cops can't be bad guys and you are spot on about honesty. The last three out of four times I was pulled over I wasn't given a ticket and I think it's because when they ask "do you know how fast you were going" I tell the truth. *kev*, the judge has already commuted the sentence I believe (it was the jury that gave her the time). ........sorry for interupting. *please* continue....just go easy on the Zima shit, I'm sensitive............

The Clash are so young in that clip. That was back in '78, sheesh even I looked young, heh. Kev, you & Nixne had me busting a gut w/your muppet comments, omfg! Tff!
