Seriously. This is not the same police of the 1980's-1990's.
“Avoid dealing with cops under any and all situation.”
My grandmother, who grew up on a Farm in Ireland and came over here about 1917 told me when I was a kid to avoid the police and priests.
She said it was for the same reason in both cases: they are never around when you need them, and when you need them to be elsewhere that’s the time they are breathing down your neck.
I wish she’d been able to see FR, I think she would have loved this place.
Sadly, you are correct. I miss those days on the beat, handing out pastries and giving back rubs.
(Kidding, of course. Unless you were a Dallas Cheerleader. Then you got a back rub.)
Yes, the police were perfect in the past.
