Cop Blogs

I’ve added a sec­tion to the blogroll for cops’ blogs.

You wouldn’t guess it from read­ing offense reports, but some of these guys can write.

    I should be a detective…I was able to put it together that you are Mark#1. They’ll prob­a­bly take the bike away from me if they knew how smart I was, so keep it under your hat, if you don’t mind.

    Thanks for the plug! Between you and the Sim­ple Jus­tice blog, I have seen a ridicu­lous increase in hits. I thought there was some­thing wrong with ana­lyt­ics for a minute!

    I may not always say some­thing you agree with, but I promise to be hon­est and as enter­tain­ing as pos­si­ble! Thanks again!

      You lost me with “Mark#1″. I’ve never used that han­dle, so I think your bike is safe.

      • Motorcop says:

        Ah, my mis­take, then…I just got a com­ment yes­ter­day from some­one I’ve never got­ten one from before and his name was Mark. Damn assuming…bike is safe indeed. *whew*.

          Hope you’re bet­ter at catch­ing crim­i­nals, if your duties are to do more than write tick­ets, anyway.

          • Motorcop says:

            Col­li­sion inves­ti­ga­tion and traf­fic duties are my baili­wick, but I catch the bad guys, too. I wasn’t built for desk duty…I was just being a smar­tass ’bout the detec­tive thing.

      Not bad, but I pre­fer oilacct’s nomination.

      Wel­come to Defend­ing People.

      Entre­pre­neur has 3 Rs.

      • Thanks, Mark. Scott Green­field has been talk­ing you up for quite a while but this is actu­ally my first time here.

          Mark used to say nice things about me too. But he prob­a­bly thinks I’m too much of a grumpy old dinosaur these days to be worth a men­tion, except when he thinks I’m wrong about something.

          Ah, these kids. One day, they just for­get all about us old folk.

        My favorites — and there are lots of them — are the pity and hor­ror slice of life sto­ries. Many of those are very well-written, and the under­ly­ing sub­ject mat­ter is one of the few impor­tant things that there are.

    Oilacct—the same thing hap­pened to this Pan­han­dle boy when I was a young kid in Las Vegas at the Golden Nugget. I had never seen wasabi before and assumed it was guac. Hilar­ity, and pain, ensued.
