Cuff Em, Dano

I’ve long been polite and respectful if, and when, stopped by the police, employing the yes sir, no sir, three bags full, sir, approach in my attempts to thwart being ticketed.  My success rate has been, maybe, fifty percent.  As I age, though, my politeness, and patience, with law enforcement officers seems to be waning.  Reading a post at Somena’s Live Journal titled “2 Friends Arrested," does not do anything to encourage me to waxing polite or respectful.

The start of Somena’s post.

"A friend of mine in St.Petersburgh who is nearly legally blind, and has not driven a car, or had a liscene for years was recently arrested.

His wife was driving their car when they were rear-ended. MG (my friend) got severe whiplash. He crawled out of the car to lay by the side of the road while the two women drivers involved in the accident waited by the cars for the police to show up. The cops show up. One of the cops sees the two women standing by the cars and my friend laying on the ground, and orders him to get up and move BOTH the cars off the road."
