| 55Flash Fiction Friday |
You remember me for...
the ticket you received
the last accident I was called to
the DWI that you received
shutting down an out of control party
busting you for illegal substances
catching you when you run a red light
Next time you see me
try and remember
I do a lot of good too
I know I have written about the boys in blue or the firefighters or the many other really important people in our lives that we never seem to remember but I thought it was time to revisit them again.
Earlier this week I saw something that made me want to write about it. Now I only saw part of it because all I saw was happened during one traffic light cycle but here goes. I saw a police car with someone pulled over. I thought oh great, I can not get past the police car, I will be inconvenienced but I was wrong.
What I did see was a police officer that was escorting a little old lady, probably in her 80s or older, from her car to the front seat in his squad car. Once he got there he helped her into his car. Then he got in her car and moved it off the busy road on to a side street before heading back to his car. Now who knows what really happened. Maybe she got busted for robbing a bank but somehow I do not think so. I get the feeling he was helping her out. It really is easy to think of the bad things but police officers are really responsible for doing a lot of good things for us too. Please remind me of that the next I get busted for exceeding the speed limit.
Have a great weekend. And if you happen to be G, take a peek at my previous post if you have a moment.

I gotta believe he was helping her too..Just like you help me!!
Thanks for a wonderful 55, and have a Great Week-End...G
Yes indeed, you must count your blessings too as far as US police force is concerned.
In India they are just licensed mafia! Nothing else! If you hear about their atrocities you will not believe it is true! But they are...
great 55, bryan...it's nice to know that our mean in blue can actually be caring sometimes. i have known a few who aren't. i even know one who went to prison, but that's another story for another time. LOL
'...maybe she got busted for robbing a bank...' LOL that really made me laugh Bryan!
I love your 55. Not enough people appreciate what a great job the emergency services do.
terrific reminder, bryan.
of course she could have been like one of the old ladies in the monty python gangs but i prefer your interpretation. ;)
Maybe someone tried to smash in her car window? I hate it when that happens.
Good ol boys in blue. Thanks.
Hows it going?
