Cop week

New2This · May 10, 2018

Just had lunch with a cop friend on Alexandria PD. She said this weekend is beginning of Cop Week. Should be busy.

Last year wasn't there some spot near East Potomac Park they congregated?

Thanks to those of you that pin on a badge and strap on a gun.

Because every issue has an idiot side and rational side...

Cool. More tips for me. Drunk cops, if you're not a total F.H.P., are good tippers. Used to do very well in the nightclub business with them.

I picked up at the CPAC convention a couple months ago at the National Harbor earlier this year despite the fact that I see those bastards as my enemy. But green is green. I even played Patriot Radio for those people and had good conversations with nearly all of them.

Green is green. I kept going back. Don't let personal politics or feelings keep your ass poor. Hell if the National Association Owners with Dogs Who Shit in Cars (NAOWDWHIC) met here I'd pick then up.

To each it's own

Just like the drivers who don't go to SE DC fearing

Obviously to each his own. But I'm happy for your decision to leave money on the table for me to pick up

Due to the fact that most cops are required to carry when off duty and the driver is not allowed to carry, you should not give rides to police officers. You don't want any contact with the police unless you have to.

No pork in my car

Had nothing but positive experiences with passengers who are cops. Good conversation and a tip.

Gave a ride to a State Trooper once.
I had to ask him to put on his seat belt in the back (he forgot, rofl)
Anyways, I asked him why MD drivers are the absolute crappiest drivers ever.
He stated that the enforcement for police is out there but when they go to court, they get slaps on the wrist.
Not sure how true it is but every other day I get an alert about an accident in MD

Hey I represent that remark!

, not all of us are bad drivers, I've been driving since I was 15, so over 35 years, 2 accidents in all that time, neither one my fault, I did run into the back of a car once but I was 16 and they were so stoned they didn't know why I ask them if they were ok, so no report then it didn't happen right? !
I'm a very patient driver... unless I'm in a hurry

I actually see a lot of DC and VA Tags that need some improvement too... but yeah some Md drivers need to turn in their license. I don't understand why round-abouts confuse people sooo much.

Most of the drivers in this area are awful. The thing that makes MD drivers stick out is that they are extremely aggressive. Obviously it's not everyone from MD, but it's a large enough percentage that everybody notices. It has been this way for at least a couple decades, too. (I remember back 50 years ago when it was not this way.) I have no idea why it is so. Lots of gangster/wannabees living in PG County, perhaps?

Always in an effin' rush only to get to the light and have to sit at the light
I am always going 8-10 over and I have people BLOWING by me like I am standing still.

There is a reason most md drivers are so terrible. Not quite as bad as uber drivers though.

Cop week
