This is Why People Hate Cops pt 1
I had to wait a couple days to write this one up.
Frankly, I'm still pissed off in spite of the fact
that I clearly won out in the end.
I was driving home the other night around 11:15 p.m.
when I passed this interstate on-ramp near S. 24th St.
in Council Bluffs. Some jerk off was on the on ramp not
trying hard enough to merge or yield. I had a semi
on my left and couldn't get over. Rather than try and
go balls out to speed up, I figured I slow down and let
this guy merge, but as I slowed down, he slowed down.
Now in my experience, this can happen once because
legally the oncoming traffic is supposed to yield. Still
it seemed prudent to slow down further so I did. And this
jackass slowed down as well keeping pace with me. I kept
thinking, "Why won't this asshole merge?" I slowed down
once more and so did he. By this time it looked like he
just wasn't going to merge so I stepped on it. And guess
what? He steps on it, pulls right in front of me and hits
his breaks.
It was at that point that this fuck turns on his lights
and sirens and I am PISSED OFF. I couldn't figure out for
the life of me why that guy wouldn't merge. I'm not a bad
driver. I go a little fast sometimes, but I am always
watching the cars around me looking to see who is doing
what and why. I can usually tell who is going to do what
by the way they are driving. It's like game theory. People
tend to lean this way and that when they are driving. They
usually try to go balls out to merge or slow down a bit as
they are looking and in retrospect, I can tell you with
complete confidence that this asshole cop was deliberately
trying to start some shit. He was clearly trying to provoke
a motorist into honking at him or doing something he could
describe as "aggressive."
Thing is, as pissed off as I get, I'm usually pretty good
about controlling myself in the face of authority, especially
when I know that the "authority figure" involved is a complete
fucking douche bag more criminal than cop who's trying to provoke
me. I know, from many years of experience, that nothing pisses
these lowlife cops off more than not playing into it.
