Feet on the Street in

Feet on the Street in Action

So as I mentioned before (I think I may have fixed my permalinks - let me know if that doesn't work) some are calling for more police officers actually walking their beats, rather than driving around in cars. Well, I saw a cop on foot just now and he actually prevented something. Get this.

I was outside and I saw a cop walking down the street looking for trouble (in a good way). A citizen had to go to the bathroom. Citizen, not knowing the cop was across the street, decided to take full advantage of a fence near my apartment. Cop crosses the street. Citizen zips up before commencing.

“You taking a leak?” Officer Joe (I’ll call him) said.

“I was thinking about it,” the citizen said.

“You should think twice,” O.J. said.

The citizen thanked the officer and moved on.

I said to Officer Joe, “see, people don’t count on cops walking around the streets anymore.”

“I wish I was two seconds later. I could’ve given him a summons,” he said. “I caught him with his zipper down, hands down his pants. Then he tries to bulllshit with me.”

There is less urine on my street tonight thanks to Officer Joe.
