Police cars
 
Monday at 10 AM there were 2 police cars at LSL in front of Paneras with lights flashing. Anyone know what was going on?

Saw additional 'strange' activity in Wildwood shopping center (near post office), 2 police cars slowly going around the parking lot, and 2-3 more in the immediate area. Maybe they were looking for someone?

"Strange" activity, isn't that what police do?

You know, it is a 1st amendment right to be able to have the freedom of speech, but seriously, none of the snide remarks about cops and donuts are funny anymore, except maybe to the self appointed "entitled" few. In fact, the greater percentage of Police Officers (we hate being called cops) nowadays are probably in a lot better shape and have a lower % of body fat than ANY OF YOU. I'm 61 and a retired LEO and could probably still hang with my son's SWAT unit when they train.

So, how about we just go back to talking about the round-abouts, the infrequent accidents, net neutrality, credit card scammers, getting robbed at ATM's, Ferguson, MO, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah - just leave us Police Officers alone.

I'll have to admit, those Arkansas State Troopers who run over to mid-field with Coach Bielema to congratulate the winning coaches do look pretty fit.

People CAN and do make jokes about donuts and police officers and still respect them highly.

I never even once thought about fat police officers when it came to donuts. I only thought they like a nice donut like everyone else.

My two uncles were police officers as was my grandfather. I am the biggest supporter of law officers and the rules.

A little teasing doesn't hurt. It goes without saying that these fine men and women put their life on the line for us everyday to be maligned and even hunt down.

I respect you sir, and know in my heart you eat donuts.

that's funny....my grandson is a college educated cop in Memphis. he also is on the swat team and he tells me they get free donuts at various places in the city. and he laughs with me on that subject. people that can get offended over a donut joke should step back and relax.
