people that speed through school zones like that are total assholes. i see it almost every day on my ride into work. hope she enjoys that $606 fine.ldent42 said:0 -
That's cute. I like this story cuz it's a beautiful example of a guy just doing his job and taking that kind of abuse on the chin. Just like so many people do everyday in any kind of service industry. We've recently seen a lot of examples of cops on a hair trigger who would have either arrested or injured that lady (or both) the minute she talked back to him. It's a good example of how the attention those cases get tends to overshadow/outweigh the cases like these.hedonist said:

Yes this happened not too far from where I am. I live near an elementary school and the school speed zone is 20 mph then goes to 45. There's a reason why the speed limit has to be what it is because so many people just don't follow those rules. I've seen folks pass by school buses when they're stopped with stop signs out. The bus driver had to put her arm out her window waving just to get people to stop. The poor kids wanting to cross the street had to stop wait till all cars FINALLY stopped. I wonder if those people would want their children put at risk like that......I doubt it.hedonist said:

That officer should be commended for keeping his cool with that hideous driver. I gather she just didn't care what danger she could've put school children in.

Kudos to the cop for keeping his cool.
She sure didn't deserve him being so calm and polite.0 -
I came across this earlier - not too long a read (well, maybe for some) but worth it. Kind of teared up in parts.

A big thank you to local police officers, who safely apprehended this young man with a knife and took him to hospital, rather than shooting him.
West Shore RCMP had to subdue a distraught man Thursday afternoon after he produced a knife and ignored commands to drop the weapon.
The incident began when View Royal Fire was called to a home on Pheasant Lane to help a man believed to be in medical need.
It was quickly determined that police would be required to deal with the man, said West Shore RCMP Const. Alex Berube. Police responded just after 4 p.m.
Officers arrived to find the man in the middle of the road. After they tried to talk to him, he took out the knife and started to walk away.
He was subdued with a Taser after turning around and coming toward police.
A 19-year-old Esquimalt man was arrested and taken to hospital.

I know our police are far from perfect (cough Dziekanski), but if you are distraught and have a weapon at least the odds are good that they will do whatever can be done so that nobody ends up dead.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -
Not so much a good cop as a good person. Sweet gesture.

This made me smile. Cop is driving by and hears dogs barking. Finds three pitt bulls huddled in a sewer drain. Fire dept comes and gets them out with Animal Control. From the video you can see they are not vicious dogs. Sad part is that since Animal Control is the one taking them in the dogs will probably end up being euthanized. But at least the cop noticed them and did the right thing.

Never tried to share a Instagram post before let's hope it goes through. If not I'll get an article link tomorrow after the story is reported.
Here's the text from the photo above for those that can't see it on instagram
and the story in the News http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/cops-find-malnourished-dogs-locked-bronx-minivan-article-1.2453962
puppykittynyctyTomorrow in the news you will see an incredible #rescue story, and I'm so, so proud that our @nypd Animal Liason friend was the hero!!!
A woman died today, she was a #dog rescuer. She had 9 living in her hoarded van, in tiny carriers. Where she also lived. Another dog was found alone in an apartment, being fed 3x/week. One dog was found deceased.
Neighbors tried to help her and the dogs for a while but no one ever called the cops. Heartbreaking. Some of the dogs can't even stand.
They are all safe and sound with full bellies tonight.
Sergeant Cathy is over the moon and worked until 10p tonight to help these sweet little souls.
@nypd, you are indeed New York City's finest.
