Let's see, some of my favorite places: Fenton, Kinder, Woodlawn, Ball, Pollock, I seldom pass through those without seeing one of their brave public servants protecting and serving some poor schmuck who exceeded the speed limit.<br /><br />I know better. Lots of people don't. <br /><br />Texans driving through Fenton and Kinder on the way too and from that casino pay a lot of revenues to those little towns between I-10 and the casino.<br /><br />MCmostly cajunhttp://mostlycajun.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-62952564945191983882014-07-25T21:44:39.611-05:002014-07-25T21:44:39.611-05:00Pawpaw that another way of saying you have been lu...Pawpaw that another way of saying you have been lucky?<br /><br />It is about revenue. <br /><br />BenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-50023053090745382642014-07-25T18:36:16.848-05:002014-07-25T18:36:16.848-05:00Snerk...

He said kids, his kids, did not always think before chasing a ball out into the street.<br /><br />We sat there for about 20 minutes while he did the routine. His flashers flashing.<br /><br />He let me go with a warning, but none of the other drivers could know that. I suspect that everybody who passed us during that 20 minutes drove the speed limit through Sunfield for the next month.<br /><br />He gave me a warning. He was a GOOD cop. Law Enforcement is about changing behaviors. I never sped through Sunfield or Mulliken, Michigan again.<br /><br />Sadly, he lost his job when a babysitter reported a home invasion. He responded but the babysitter said she never called. The cop went away. The next morning the babysitter claimed she had been raped.<br /><br />Much later, it was determined that the "rapist" was her on-again-off-again boy friend. The cop was a casualty of their relationship.<br /><br />Sometimes, life sucks. Eaton Rapids Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102166969915526172noreply@blogger.com
