Today I went to a drive thru to pick up lunch. I was sitting there waiting (nearly forever) to get to the microphone, passively watching the drama unfold in their parking lot. Out come 2 city cops, BSing in the sun.
One walks over to his cruiser, still talking. He uses his foot (clad in his uniform leather shoes) and notices mud covering his rear quarter panel. Obviously he'd been in a puddle or muddy section. So he takes his foot and starts scraping it off the fender. Not once, not twice, but about a half dozen times. Each one striking paydirt, and removing mud right down to the paint.
I know cruisers around here are driven into the ground. But that probably isn't going to buff out. It'll just look like crap until the car is declared un-roadworthy. I can't imagine anyone doing that to their own car. But its OK to abuse a taxpayer funded ride? CPD, noon today, unit 04333.
All the cops (now retired) that I'm friends with are smart guys. I don't know a single one of them who would pull such a stunt. I'm not really pissed, just disgusted.
