Something very similar to that happened here about two summers ago. They
were chasing a white pick-up. One reported he was going to get in front of
the vehicle. About thirty seconds later, another said, "you're getting in
front of me. Can't you tell the difference between a white pick-up and white
SUV?" The other said, "sorry about that. What was the color of the vehicle
again?" The other screamed "it's the god d**n white pick-up right in front
of you." The other one said something in response but I didn't hear what he
said - I was too busy laughing.

Priceless. How long have SUV's been around for him not to know that one was different from a p/u?

I'm sure the mix-up was one of those heat of the moment things (perhaps
someone trying a little too hard). Regardless, it was pretty darn funny at
the moment. And I'm sure all involved got ribbed about it by other officers
afterwards.

^ Cop 1 What was the discription of the suspect?
^ Cop 2 bald with grey hair

It could seem funny if you're not familiar with other uses of the word
"bald". Bald doesn't have to mean no hair -- it can also be used if only the
top of the head has no hair.

Quite right! But some people have more ass than class, and it seems that they
delight in demonstrating that at every opportunity g.

That was me. Never a cop, but I did do volunteer emergency services work,
and I didn't do it for glory or hero worship. I've worked with lots of
cops while doing it, and I never met one who was a cop for glory or
heroism.

Neither have I. I've always thought that if you wanted to be a 'hero' or
demanded 'hero worship', then by all means go into sports, not public service.

And Mr. Sharp, thank you for your service.

And you for yours. Sorry to see you abandoned as you have been.

LOL...Airborne...we're *supposed* to be surrounded g.

I almost pooped my pants when we were taught the Illinois regulations for
driving with lights and sirens. The laws are such that if a car "driving
code" is sitting at a full stop and some drunk loses control, spins out,
rolls over, and hits him, the guy with the lights and sirens is responsible.
Fortunately, the courts hold otherwise if there's any evidence that the
"code" car wasn't responsible.

It's much the same in Louisiana...no matter who is truly at fault in a given
situation, the police are nearly always held responsible, as far as civil
liabilities, etc.

Really makes you want to run around and help people, eh?
