"Springfield cops are on the take,
But what do you expect for the money we make?
Whether in a car, or on a horse,
We don't mind using excessive force.
Bad cops, bad cops.
Bad cops, bad cops."

And with that, I give you my two police moments today. Frankly, I'm surprised there were only two, usually I see tons of cops on my way to school, but today, only two. Luckily, they were gems.

First, one that I think everyone has experienced. Sitting at the lights out front of Georgian, there is a cop turning left. The filtered green comes on, but instead of just going with the traffic, he turns his lights on, everyone waits, he goes around the corner, gets into the right lane, and turns his lights off. The best part? Because everyone had to hurry all of a sudden to catch the green, there was almost an accident.

Second, I'm driving home, and am coming up Hanson, right before my house. There is a cop tailgating a car in front of me (seriously, he's maybe two feet behind her). As soon as the road split to two lanes, the cop flew past the car (which was already going 10 over, by the way). He then proceeded to make a right hand turn from the left lane. And he was still going easily 80. Had it not been for traffic, he probably wouldn't have even bothered to stop at the stop sign.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why people do not respect cops. I know it's not everyone, but there are enough stupid ones out there to give all the rest a bad name.
