"Recently, the Chula Vista, California Police Department ran an e-mail forum (a question and answer exchange) with the topic being, "Community Policing." One of the civilian e-mail participants posed the following question, "I would like to know how it is possible for police officers to continually harass people and get away with it?" From the "other side" (the law enforcement side) Sgt. Bennett, obviously a cop with a sense of humor replied: "First of all, let me tell you this...it's not easy. In Chula Vista, we average one cop for every 600 people. Only about 60% of those cops are on general duty (or what you might refer to as "patrol") where we do most of our harassing. The rest are in non-harassing departments that do not allow them contact with the day to day innocents. At any given moment, only one-fifth of the 60% patrollers are on duty and available for harassing people while the rest are off duty. So roughly, one cop is responsible for harassing about 5,000 residents. When you toss in the commercial business, and tourist locations that attract people from other areas, sometimes you have a situation where a single cop is responsible for harassing 10,000 or more people a day. Now, your average ten-hour shift runs 36,000 seconds long. This gives a cop one second to harass a person, and then only three-fourths of a second to eat a donut AND then find a new person to harass. This is not an easy task. To be honest, most cops are not up to this challenge day in and day out. It is just too tiring. What we do is utilize some tools to help us narrow down those people which we can realistically harass. The tools available to us are as follows: PHONE: People will call us up and point out things that cause us to focus on a person for special harassment. "My neighbor is beating his wife" is a code phrase used often. This means we'll come out and give somebody some special harassment. Another popular one: "There's a guy breaking into a house." The harassment team is then put into action. CARS: We have special cops assigned to harass people who drive. They like to harass the drivers of fast cars, cars with no insurance or no driver's licenses and the like. It's lots of fun when you pick them out of traffic for nothing more obvious than running a red light. Sometimes you get to really heap the harassment on when you find they have drugs in the car, they are drunk, or have an outstanding warrant on file. RUNNERS: Some people take off running just at the sight of a police officer Nothing is quite as satisfying as running after them like a beagle on the scent of a bunny. When you catch them you can harass them for hours. STATUTES: When we don't have PHONES or CARS and have nothing better to do, there are actually books that give us ideas for reasons to harass folks. They are called "Statutes"; Criminal Codes, Motor Vehicle Codes, etc...They all spell out all sorts of things for which you can really mess with people. After you read the statute, you can just drive around for a while until you find someone violating one of these listed offenses and harass them. Just last week I saw a guy trying to steal a car. Well, there's this book we have that says that's not allowed. That meant I got permission to harass this guy. It's a really cool system that we've set up, and it works pretty well. We seem to have a never-ending supply of folks to harass. And we get away with it. Why? Because for the good citizens who pay the tab, we try to keep the streets safe for them, and they pay us to "harass" some people Next time you are in my town, give me the old "single finger wave." That's another one of those codes. It means, "You can't harass me." It's one of our favorites. For those who do have, or have had a close association in the Law Enforcement industry, I am sure that this will have a special meaning. Sent from my roving harassment Jetpack." "

I was thinking it was possessed by one of your ex-wives and you were on the other side of the fence. :lmao:

Funny story, since you brought it up.  I started talking to the last ex about a month ago.  Long story short, it was the D that made her crazy, and now she's crazy again...

Lemme help you out, Mack - it's in the Music, my man...   Tommy Tutone.

Okay Tom, Don't know the music either, ..... Humming ..."Jenny" 867-5309, a female donkey,  I am more of a Merle "Onetone" Haggard guy. , ... ."Doe" a deer,  a female deer,  ..."Ray' a golden drop of sun, ..."Me",  a name I call Myself,... "Fa", a long  long way to run.... that is how I remember music...

  

🎵🎵Music lesson 101🎵🎵

When you sing you begin with do-re-mi
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
The first three notes just happen to be
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti
Let's see if I can make it easy
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
 
:banana::banana::banana::banana:🎵

Smartass - I need to get you up on the '80s music...  This was 1981, you should remember it...  You were WAY younger 40 years ago... :laffs:

Any way I do think you for splainning about that picture....

Hey! I was only 43 back in 1980, and that is about when I first sang DO RE ME along with "An Okie from Muskogee"!  " Do you remember Patsy Cline? and Eddie Arnold? They were before Video tape.

So how old were you, in 1980?.....still crapping in diapers, maybe!

Well no telling what either of us will be doing in 2021, reckon? 

I heard a  self appointed "wise" man say once: "Well, it takes all kinds of people to make this old world, I'm just glad I ain't one of them!" LOL

and remember to take the stuff outta the truck if you are gonna let it be stolen.  Sorry to hear about that, maybe it is just bad luck.
