My girl Jag has some thoughts for the Officer who wrote her a ticket last night.
I’ll let her tell it.

When I was a kid, I was taught that police officers were safe, strong people that I could trust and always go to when I was in trouble. The only title higher than cop was perhaps a firefighter. Maybe an astronaut. Regardless of the few terrible experiences I’ve had with cops, I thought I’d always look at you with respect. It’s what I was taught and it’s what you deserve.

…
your behavior this evening leaves me no doubt as to why [my goddaughter] may grow up not having faith in your need to protect her.

Go to her blog and read the rest. It’s thought provoking.

Turns out last night was not a stellar one for Metro’s Finest, as Ginger has her own letter of complaint for another officer.

By the way, to the cop who directed us the wrong way: When you started seeing all of the (probably hundreds) of cars you sent that way coming back by you, perhaps that should have clued you in that you were doing something wrong.

But no…you are a Metro Police Officer. You can’t be wrong about anything, can you?
