There are some good police officers out there.  Like Mappy. :)

Mappy,sir? I'm unfamiliar. I'm all about Andy Griffith and police academy though! 

Tsk, tsk, you don't know who Mappy is?  You'd better do some research, pronto! :)

If it's an old school videogame character I'm surprised because I take some pride in knowing my old school videogame characters,Cary. I'll uh,look Mappy up!

 PS: Ah,he's a mouse! 

Im glad to hear they were nice, there are some good cops out there but discerning whos good or corrupt is the real name of the game.

These two are typical neighborhood beat cops. I've talked to them and seen them before and they've always been really nice. Granted I'm sure a future misunderstanding could put me in cuffs and on the hood of a police car but so far that has not happened fortunately. lol. 

I'll never be able to look at Amy the same way ever again.LOL! Seriously though nice work. Glad the cops didn't kick your ass. Here the cops are too lazy to mess with you. Not all cops are bad I know, but I fear they are the minority of that species.

I do not if "cop fear" is a healthy impulse or just over the fact we hear about and see a lot of bad stories of police fucking up yet we don't ever hear and see as much about the police doing a good job. The media loves doom and gloom. Cop saved a girl scout? Fuck it. Police beating up a homeless person will get more views!

Don't get me wrong. I know many cops are in fact bullies and are corrupt as sin but I get tired of them getting more screen time than the cops being decent civil servants. It's as if we make celebrities out of the bad-cops and make the good-cops invisible.

Anyway,glad you liked the pic even if you'll never see Amy quite the same way again. lol.

Damn.  What, the neighbor was too afraid of you guys to ask you to turn down the volume?  

One of my best friends use to wear a trench coat everywhere.  He's been stopped by the cops a few times.  A couple times he had to inform them that he had a gun on him.  Nothing happened.  Cops like to know about guns.  They check the gun and license and you're good.  My friend is a social worker now.  Works with substance abuse guys and leads group sessions.  His gun is never too far away. 

In my case there was a guy in a trenchcoat who looked like me selling dope. Luckily,eventually the police got to know me well enough to tell the difference. I still did not feel comfortable wearing a trench after all the hassle I got over it though.

Glad your friend has made a career out of helping others,James. Seems like a stand up guy!

He's great.  I meet him in college.  He had long hair, black trench coat, and always wore flannel and jeans.  He looked like a drifter.  He used to hang out in my apartment all the time.  We'd stay up late at night watching crazy B-movies and during the day, after class, we'd take naps.  Now, his hair is short, coat's gone, wearing more "adult" clothes, and married with 2 kids.  He's the same guy from college; just looks different. 

I like the laid back,down to earth, and fun types! He seems like someone I would have gotten along with too.  Good to know he's doing well too!

i had some cops come in on me when I was living in San Francisco.  luckily I hid the bong in the fridge before I answered the door.  

Concealed fridge bong for the win! You uh, "Metal Geared" that situation like a pro,sir!

Dammit Ben, keep yo volume down! lol

Also; been meaning to check out your 'kinky artwork', but I'm always on my work computer when I see you posting it, so I have yet to take a look. Sorry about that bud!

It's cool,Chris. lol. As for "keeping it down" normally it's not a prob but I think this time windows were opened to both apartments so the sound travelled more. But heck,my neighbor could have just y'know,politely asked us to "turn it down" before calling the police on us.

Bahaha. I opened your pic to look at it just as my nan walked over. Talk about timing... she was quite confused. Then I told her a friend drew it and I was just checking it out and she said "You and your college friends are weird." I didn't bother explaining I didn't know you from college.

 I'm glad you didn't get white Rodney King'd though.

Yeah,police don't seem too "eager" to get physical over noise complaints. Probably because they don't want to go through any hassles simply over someone being a bit too loud. Guess it's easier just to ask them nicely to "keep it down". (Though seriously, we are known for being quiet tennants usually.)

Uh,sorry about your timing with your nan. lol. I like her reaction though! "Blake,those friends of yours......weirdos!"  

Haha yeah. Nan isn't super judgemental though. She's into geeky shit. Just not geeky erotic shit lol.

And yeah. I've only had one bad experience with a police officer. I got pulled over for a random breath test right outside my dad's place, and he kept trying to find things to book me on. He got up me for having where I lived on my license instead of my university residence, which is just fucking boarding so clearly he doesn't know the law, and then he did an inspection of my car, and deemed my back tire "a little too bald." It wasn't until my dad came out and said what's the problem that the guy was like "no problem and left. Shady cunt.

 My brothers get this shit all the time though, but I think they brought it on themselves. One is a big note who speeds everywhere and thinks it's funny to tell the police to go fuck themselves, and the other is a stoner who used to shoplift a lot. So yeah.

Man, I'm sorry you had to deal with that guy. What a wanker. It did seem like he was trying "really hard" to find the tiniest thing wrong. Bored self important cops are the worst.

As fot your nan, I wasn't offended by the weirdo remark. lol. As far as words go "weirdo" is pretty non-offensive. Heck,we reserve that one for family members and even other people we care about. (Despite their weirdness) 

At least the cops didn't give you a hard time.

I haven't had that many interactions with cops myself (which is kinda surprising given the section of Brooklyn I live in), hopefully I'll be able to keep it that way.

Yeah seeing a cop or two of them is akin to seeing the grim-reaper....it's usually bad news. lol. I'm glad in this case it was over something that could be resolved easily without any fingerprints or mug shots.

Was this before or after Furgeson? As of this moment most police are not looked on too kindly, moreso if that person is black or of the police at the moment are wearing military gear.
