Strange happenings last night.

[Zundfolge]

speaking from experience. I can tell you LE in CO is WAYYYYYYYYY different than those on either coast where both he and i grew up.

Which is why it annoys me how many CO officers are transplants from places like Chicago and Boston.

Example.
40+ years ago i couldn't take a MC ride without numerous LE encounters. Yes Numerous stops per day. Based on appearance, type of mc ridden and the mentality of LE (at the time) towards anyone riding Harleys, choppers etc.

That's interesting because one of my neighbors is a retired cop from Mass ... overall seems like a decent guy (much more conservative politically than one would expect from a Masshead) but every time there are bikers in the area he'll post warnings about them on the neighborhood email list and FB page.

Maybe bikers back east are different too?


As for my interactions with LEOs, most of them are just fine (my parents live next door to a Wichita PD Captain who's now retired, he's always been pretty cool, and back when I lived in Wichita I did the business cards for the WPD so I got to meet a lot of them when they'd stop by the shop to pick up their cards ... and drink our coffee). But most of the negative interactions I've had with PD have been more about fecklessness, incompetence and general uselessness more than JBTs with bad attitudes. Like when I had a gun stolen during a real estate inspection and the CSPD "detective" spent his time flirting with one of the suspects and investigating me for "filing a false report" ... I certainly hope its not one of the good cops that has to deal with whomever has that gun now.
