Eye Witness

From my window on the seventh floor, I can just about see everything heading north from my building. IT’S GREAT! Things like traffic, and…..traffic, and condos being built (construction workers on lunch break are ALWAYS a hoot!) About very three minutes a Southwest Airlines plane buzzes by on its way to land. It shakes the window every time. Because of this, I don’t even take notice to the thundering jet sound anymore –even when outside.

RESULT: One day down the line, I will be walking along and a crashing jet will land RIGHT ON TOP OF ME!!......won’t even hear it*

Anyway, today I was glancing out the window all casual, and WOW –a man was running down the ally across the street. Well….he was being chased to be exact –by 4 cops.

I instantly jumped up “LOOK AT THAT SHIT!!!”

…………nobody was around.

Now, I was watching this scene unfold alone –like porno at midnight.

OBSERVATION: Have any of you ever seen the old black and white KEYSTONE COPS movies? Yeah, it was just like that.

First off, isn’t there some kind of health code for officers? I mean, if your gut “done lapped” over your belt, haven’t you just “done earned” a desk job? I don’t think you are going to catch up to crack-fueled, 125 pound, Hispanic. Secondly, four cops in a mob behind a running suspect -makes very little sense to me. What happened to strategy? This tends to happen when they are all in cars too.

1 SUV + 84 cop cars (all tailing suspect) = funny shit.

Lastly, when the poor sap trips, and the google of officers catch up to him, is that really victory? They all hold him down; cuffing him as a group. Then it’s high fives all around.

Go getem’ DANNO!

SIDENOTE: I have NO ill will towards officers of the law. They have always been very nice to me when I would mention the cuffs were too tight. BUT- let’s try to pretty up those foot chases….ok?

Do it for us saps in high buildings…..pretending to work.

Thanks!
