Do police officers need to pass an eye exam...?
Good people don’t want to be cops anymore, so they have to take what they can get.
Well heck, at least you know if he’s your fellow trooper you figure he’s got your six.
Apparently Florida Cops are a species of Florida Man.
Paul Bunyan?
How about, "...with a gas pump nozzle in his hand..."?
But, but...
The officer feared being sprayed with gasoline gun. Nobody understands the danger...
Who is the keyboard coward? Show yourself.
Unsurprising to me. I got stopped, pulled out of my truck, and frisked for having no front plate on my car in Texas.
My truck is registered in NM. NM doesn’t issue front plates. This was west Texas. He had to know that as every third car is from NM, especially on the weekend.
Sat me in the curb cuffed as he ran my license as my entire church drove by.
I’m a clean cut middle aged guy, driving a new, clean, properly registered truck, wearing a suit at the time (went to Mass), with a short haircut and no tats or weirdness going on.
No ticket after his supervisor arrived.
How many times can a cop make the claim that he was in fear for his own life before he’s fired or assigned to desk duty?
-PJ
I believe now open carry is legal in florida? Police need to make certain a weapon is being brandished.
He should go on desk duty for a certain period of time.
New law coming soon -
Magazine size limit for Gas Pumps.
Barney rides again!
Agreed.
People are fallible but when you screw up like this cop did you don’t get an attitude but you apologize and ask for forgiveness. You say, oh man I am so sorry. I looked over when I was driving and I thought I saw a gun in you hand pointing at the store. Man do I feel stupid. Please accept my apology, ask to shake hands and everyone has a story to tell.
Now he’s an idiot and a bad cop. If he had shown humility none of us would have never known about this and there would be no hard feeling between the citizen and the cop.
Years ago a cop pulled me over. Came up to my car, I rolled down the window and naturally he asked me for identification.
I said yes, and turned away from him, bent down and reached for my purse with my identification which i kept under the passenger seat.
Came back up and with my purse in hand turned to the open window where he was standing poised with a gun drawn pointed right at my head.
I nearly fainted, and said, slowly, like speaking in a haze, ‘you said you wanted my identification. I alway keep my purse under the seat’.
The two of us were at that point in another mood, shall I say.
I nearly got my head blown off. He nearly made a fatal mistake.
I don’t keep my purse under the seat any more.
If that cop is still employed then god help the people in his area. Only a corrupt police force would keep him.
