To all of you officer's that drive the Interceptor SUV, if you ever use the spare tire, get one put back into it's cubby ASAP. The spare tire is designed by Ford as part of it's impact mitigation. Hopefully the outfitters to your rigs did not remove them for radio equipment.

Just an FYI if you don't know already.

is there some kind of syndrome or mental block that occurs in some people?
where they see the
giant flashing lights flashing all kinds of colors
and with out any thought at all on their part
they start driving twords the lights?

kind of like the kid learning to ride a bicycle,
he see's the mail box in front of him but , the brain tells the muscles to head straight for it

They were very lucky. That’s how I found myself retired early without a say in the matter.

I vividly remember what I don’t remember. Out of nowhere I’m being cut out of a mangled cruiser and sent on an excruciating ambulance ride while trying to figure out what happened and where all the people came from. I never liked surprises.

One of my worse nightmares...if someone attacks you, at least you can hope to fight back. Getting rear-ended or ran over during a traffic stop...scary shit.



Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here.

Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard.

Yes. Yes, there is: target fixation. Google translator doesn't have Bendableese so you're on your own.
