My wife's personal favorite is the 9-1-1 call I got from a small child who told me a pick up truck just drove by a threw a body in his front yard.  I ask if his mom is home, he said yes, so I asked to talk to her.  He gave mom the phone, and she is screaming, crying, completely incomprehensible.  So I ask for her son again.  I dispatch officers to the pick up truck that just threw a body into the front yard of a residence, and almost every officer goes .... to find out it was a COUCH!  (and a mighty ugly one at that too)

I don't believe it is rare. I was almost shot by a policeman with his .45 caliber gun. I am just a mild mannered, middle aged computer programmer who was coding a program all night at a software company. I left the building at 3:00AM and accidentally triggered the alarm that wouldn't reset after attempting to reset it for 10 minutes. So, I left the building carrying my black name and address booklet in my hand. Suddenly, a huge, towering man approached me from behind ordering me to drop what was in my hands and put my hands behind my back. There was no police car present, no motor cycle present, and he did not identify himself. I thought he was a night watchman. I explained that I was an employee and had accidentally tripped the alarm. He screamed that I should not look at him and should drop what was in my hands and put my hands behind my back. It was dark out, and I couldn't see him well. He shined a bright light on me and looked through some kind of viewer which I now know was a gun. Eventually, after he demonstrated severe and frightening anger, I obeyed him and was handcuffed. I figured he was just some angry security guard. Moments later police cars arrived, and I was relieved that some professionals showed up. Those officers were very nice to me. But, the big guy who had initially stopped me, then revealed to me his gun and how close he was to having shot me. He repeated that several times and also stated he thought my name and address book might be a weapon. And, I didn't find out until the next day that he actually was a real police officer who worked foot patrol. I thought he was a guard by his wearing of a blue shirt instead of the black police uniform the other police wore. Had he only identified himself as a police officer at the initial encounter, I would have obeyed immediately.

Yes.  I work with a few different local police departments and I trust all of them.  As for the city I live in, I do, very much.  There are some great officers there and they are respectful and caring.  They try and do the best they can for the community.  The chief is awesome and backs his officers.  We don't have a lot leave from there.

Surveilance is what comes to mind-any GOOD cop (rarity) knows how. I had a buddy who was an MP in sunny SE Asia that could pick a VC out of a crowd just by the way the guy (or girl) looked at him.

no, but then the police get away with a lot of things they shouldn't. There are good cops and bad cops!

HOW TO CALL THE POLICE\n\n George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi was going up to bed when his wife told him  that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the  bedroom window.\n\nGeorge opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.\n\nHe phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?" and he said "no". Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available.\n\nGeorge said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.           \n \n"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed.  Well, you don't have to worry about them now cause I've just shot them all." Then he hung up.\n\nWithin five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips residence and  caught the burglars red-handed.            \n \nOne of the Policemen said to George: "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"     \n \nGeorge said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"

It could very well be that the officer knew the guy. Contact your neighbors and any other witnesses to the man's demeanor (possible intoxication). Then contact the police station and see if you couls speak to this officers superior. Dont make a big thing about the cop not being concerned with your safety. Mention it, but its not what may get him in trouble. It will be the fact that he apprently left out some crucial details in a police report.

*Chuckling* I actually dun get speeding tickets, tis one of the handy things bout wolf instinct. I can usually tell if there is a patrol car (or camera speed monitor) nearby by the way others drive and I let what I call a "lame duck" (someone in more of a hurry than me) go ahead of me while I follow at a reasonable distance. They tend to get the ticket instead. Heh, evil I know, but not my fault they they were speeding and got caught...\nGood advice on how to avoid the ticket when pulled over is here http://www.askmen.com/fashion/how_to_100/147_how_to.html\n\nNow first off if you are busted by camera, give it up, you won't win. Courts tend to put great stock in the automated speeding monitors.\nIf you are pulled over and do get a ticket, this means you gotta go to court to fight it, but police officers do not have the time to go for every ticket they write. So they cannot refute you in court and if you prove reasonable doubt, you can get out of it.\nBut if the officer is there, well you got a problem and it becomes more difficult to win.\n\nIf you decide to fight it in court, a good site with a lot of free (not all, but a lot) information is http://tipmra.com/sample/tipmra_sample.htm\nI can tell you the last time a friend got one was by the radar gun, which is easy to refute as loose tools in the trunk is well known to foul up the readings.\n\nAnd finally I leave you with this lil tidbit...\nHow To Get Out Of A Traffic Ticket!\n\nA police officer pulls a guy over for speeding and has the following exchange...\n\nOfficer: May I see your driver's license?\n\nDriver: I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI.\n\nOfficer: May I see the owner's card for this vehicle?\n\nDriver: It's not my car. I stole it.\n\nOfficer: The car is stolen?\n\nDriver: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the owner's card in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there.\n\nOfficer: There's a gun in the glove box?\n\nDriver: Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the trunk.\n\nOfficer: There's a BODY in the TRUNK?!?!?\n\nDriver: Yes, sir.\n\nHearing this, the officer immediately called his captain. The car was quickly surrounded by police, and the captain approached the driver to handle the tense situation.\n\nCaptain: Sir, can I see your license?\n\nDriver: Sure. Here it is.\n\nIt was valid.\n\nCaptain: Who's car is this?\n\nDriver: It's mine, officer. Here's the owner's card.\n\nThe driver owned the car.\n\nCaptain: Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there's a gun in it?\n\nDriver: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it.\n\nSure enough, there was nothing in the glove box.\n\nCaptain: Would you mind opening your trunk? I was told you said there's a body in it.\n\nDriver: No problem.\n\nTrunk is opened; no body.\n\nCaptain: I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the glovebox, and that there was a dead body in the trunk.\n\nDriver: Yeah, I'll bet the lying s.o.b. told you I was speeding, too!

As a officer I can't reemmber ever paying for coffee and normally free donuts at the donut shops.\n\nWe got 1/2 meals at Burger King, McDonalds, Waffle House, and alot of other places.\n\nThey like the police officers to be around,  it provides them safey, esp corner markets at night.\n\nI can remember after I retired,  I had not been back to the area where I used to be a officer for a couple months,  I went in to see one of the clerks and manger at a corner store that I used to go to every night. I went to get my coffee and the clerk was not there,  I started to walk out and forgot to pay,  I felt so silly.\n\nBut the manager was there and told me that I had free coffee there for as long as she worked there, since she knew that even retired, I would stop something if anything was going on there  had I been in.\n\nEvery job has varoius perks  this is just one for officers

Well living in NJ I get NY news so I hear everything that happens there. I think in a whole the NYPD are good people doing a difficult job but like in life there are a few bad apples. Now talking about what happened to the 23 year old who just got killed I think 50 shots is ridiculous. I can't say it was a racial thing and it could have been a white guy who had gotten killed just the same BUT (and I don't know all the facts) it sounded like the guys were trying to get away from the cops. I think the Cops (who were undercover) may have just looked like a bunch of guys with guns pointing at then so they wanted to get away. They were in their car ramming other cars and almost hitting a cop but maybe they didn't know he was a cop just a wacko with a gun pointed at them and if it was you wouldn't you run someone over or hit some cars to get away? Now they are saying that one of them was over heard saying he was going to get his gun before this all happened and that is why the cops followed them but none was found and no shots other then the cops were fired so I am thinking it isn't looking good for the cops right now and I am sorry for the family of the man who died! It stinks!!!

I like horror stories, so here are some...\n\n***\n\nAbout six or seven years ago, my family lived along Teays Valley Rd. before the big "industrial boom" of Putnam County. Seems like it went from a farming community to a city right before my eyes. Well anyway, We rented land off of a fellow by the name of Jim Umberger. On this land was an extravagant pre-civil war almost Victorian house. It was simply beautiful. Off to the side of this massive antique sat our trailer. Now I was awful young through all of this and kids will have thier fabled ghost stories, but there was something quite odd about this house. Something was down right sour. \n\nThe story had it (and I know nothing of the truth in this) a family was brutally butchered in the house. Back then, there wasa whole lot of nothing for miles around, so no one even found these folks for a good long time. As a youngster, I had the "creeps" about anything just about, but I've never been quite as frightened of a place as I was here. The place had an eerie air to it. To make things even more insane, my stepgrandmother, Evelyn, died of brain cancer there (in our trailer, of course). My other Grandmothers' entire cancer eaten body siezed up and shut down on her, yet she died oficially in a hospital. Strange things went on at this trailer. Pockets of not cool, but cold air in the middle of July, for example. Once in the winter my mother was out on the town. My younger brother and I were watching some TV when there was a knock on the door. There, on the freshly fallen snow, was nothing. No footprints, no tire tracks, nothing. Needless to say I spent the rest of that night with my head buried under the covers. Speaking of doors, once I heard the doorbell ring, seemed innocent enough, but WE DIDN'T HAVE A DOORBELL!! Pictures falling off the wall, creaky floors and long sleepless nights were only minor nuisences we had to deal with everyday. The most disturbing incidences, however, and the most annoying were when the smoke detectors, located in various parts of the trailer, would take turns going off one at a time. \n\nAfter that, they'd go off simultaneously, quite a ruckus. For a long time, I thought I was the only one who felt a presence, then one night, my mother went completely irate screaming "Show yourself, Evelyn! I'm tired of these f*ck*ng games! Show yourself!" We never saw anything. Things continued as they were until we moved. Mr. Umberger sold the land to someone and it became South Brooke, a ritzy subdivision with $500,000+ houses that wouldn't hear of our humble trailer depriciating thier property. However, I believe they'll get theirs, Although they tore the house down for the project, there was a well and a system of underground streams and springs which probably rendered the whole operation illegal. The thing about the springs and wells may not sound important, but in my own personal research I have found negative forces and spirits can channeol themselves through waterways. I'd like to see how South Brooke likes it's neighbors! \n\nI believe I have some pictures of that house somewhere in the mess that is my apartment.\n\n***\n\nThe story I would like to tell is about an apartment building in Spokane, WA. This building is only about seven years old, if y'all are anything like me you expect a haunted house to be all scary and falling down, not clean with nice landscaping. It really started the day after we moved in, my hubby came in from the deck (I am a cigarette nazi - no smoking in ze house!) scared as heck. I have never seen my ex-marine hubby look so scared. He absolutely would not talk about it! hmmmm. \n\nNot two days later my little year and some odd daughter was supposed to be asleep for the night but instead was talking to someone. Of corse, no one was there when I checked, but I swore I could hear an old lady talking to her. I figured it was my dead grandma, she comes to visit now and t

A friend told me the one about the couple who are on vacation and get robbed of everything but their camera and toothbrushes as happening to his cousin.\n\nAn ex-girlfriend told me the Eddie Murphy "hit the floor" one as happening to her aunt's friend in Atlantic City.\n\nIt's amazing how credible they can be.
