Because the deity of irony loves to bust my balls, my next door neighbor is a cop.
But he's a pretty cool cop. I was standing in my front yard with a glass of whiskey, (with the brand I drink etched into the glass) when he returned from wherever he was before. Him and his wife came over, and we made normal neighbor chit-chat. But when he saw my glass (Jim Beam, for those that are wondering) he asked " Oh, you like whiskey?"

We continued our small talk, then he and his wife went inside. My partner and I were discussing her placement of flowering plants, and my cop neighbor came outside again with a glass in his hand. It was a glass of whiskey (only four ounces....

What do other members think of the "police". (don't be an ass, try to be civil.)
If you support the "gun reform" scenario, but think police abuse their rights, how do you justify giving the police all the guns?
This is an open thread with many possibilities. I don't have a particular discussion in mind, I just want to start a discussion.
