Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Bar Competition
Yet another story of why I have issues with local small town cops. I went to DJ a TGIFriday's Bar Competition a couple weeks ago in Central New Jersey(I've been sitting on this post, cause I'm obviously busy). As always I parked in the fire lane out front to unload my equipment. I parked behind the police suv that was parked on duty for the event. I locked my truck up and went inside to unload. While I was unloading and setting up my equipment, the manager came and told me that I better move my truck. At that point I looked up and saw a second cop car parked behind me with his lights on, so I said "Fine."When I went out, I walked past the 2 cops standing together and headed for my car. The older guy, stops me from going to my car and says "Is that your car?" So I said yes as I continued toward it. What I'm thinking is that they are going to tell me to move my car, so I was going to move my car. It made sense at the time.So, he yells, "Hey, I'm talking to you!" And I turn around and say, "Yeah, I said Yeah..." He immediately closes the space between us and gets pretty much nose to nose with me and starts complaining about how he didn't disrespect me, but me "saying yes over my shoulder was disrespectful to him...blah blah blah" So, I said "Sorry you took it that way"So he goes into another tyraid about how my appology doesn't mean anything to him, so I say "I'm sorry you feel THAT way..." If you know me and how I feel about this type of bully (which would include pretty much every cop I've ever met) you would know that as I say these things, I'm looking him in the eye and more conveying a vibe of "YOU CAN GO FUCK YOURSELF" than "I'm sorry".Right about then, my friend walks around the corner to move my car for me, not knowing what was happening and the guy starts screaming at him..."You have something to say? You're eyeballing me..." My friend didn't know what to do, he tried to explain himself and then just backed away and went back inside. There is a whole crowd of people watching this asshole make a fool of himself. So we go back and forth like that for a few minutes, with him trying to both verbally and physically intimidate me and me leaning back in to his space showing him that I'm not interested in his games. And then he finally lets me go move my car.When I went back inside I passed him, the other cop and the manager of the bar talking. I'm inside for a little while and the manager comes up to me and tells me that the other officer wants to talk to me. So my immediate thought is "What now?"But I go talk to him in a quiet part of the restaurant and he APOLOGIZES for the other jerk offs behavior and encourages me to lodge a formal complaint with the station. To Be Continued...(and that concludes our broadcasy day)"

Man i still LOVE this post! It just screams follow the force...and our hero does as we wknow from a later post...
