Seems like some on here are over-analyzing this...
Cop was just doing his job, profiled a vehicle that was driving on the highway at an odd hour. Somehow the driver took offense and displayed it on a forum. Next time stay in the right lane to avoid suspicious behavior. What if you were really a drug dealer going to a house and the cop just doesn't pay any mind to you. At that point you get to your deal and shots are fired killing innocent bystanders (one of them being someone you personally knew).... See, don't you wish the cop would have done his job, ran your tag and made sure nothing went down? "People hate cops until they desperately need their help." |

I just wish the farmers and the cowmen could be friends.
First to identify the musical gets a hug. |

The farmers and the cowmen should be friends in OKLAHOMA, where the wind comes sweeping down the plain!

So far this year, 26 officers have been gunned down - 44 percent more than the 18 shot and killed at this point in 2010.
The next time anyone is tempted to make a disparaging remark about police officers and taking donuts breaks, please remember the families (specially the little children) of these dead heroes. These men and women died protecting us......not eating donuts. I can never understand why it's such good sport to minimize the dignity of police officers by painting them as donut hounds. |

My attempt at a little levity and my posts about the law enforcement people here in The Villages eating donuts in the parking lot at Publix only meant to reinforce my view that this place is safer than most places. I would like to add that I have never, ever, personally seen them munching donuts. Maybe one bagel. |

Initially, I was going to make a comment that this thread needs to be put to bed...because like many threads on so many forums, things seem to get beat to death. As a retired Chief and 30 years in service, the comments and topics regarding police officers/departments is nothing new to me. I don't take offense to the posts and remarks that we hear most of the time, in fact, I am often heard to make jokes and comments about cops and donuts and other remarks like "why don't the cops go after real criminals and leave the traffic violators alone". I think most of the time, comments such as these are all in fun, although I know that there are some real haters out there.
I don't believe the original poster here meant anything derogatory. I think he was just looking for opinions, although I may be wrong. I appreciate (which prompted this response) the Talk Host commenting about the seriousness and inherent dangers associated with police work. Thanks! Take a minute if interested, to read my latest story "The Meet" on my blog, On the Road with the Chief. It's relevant to this topic. Chief X |

What? You didn't recognize one of those motorcycle cops from the TV show CHIPS? Poor guy, you must have run out of your pop-corn supply and going through withdrawal!
