The Sheriff Wrestles Me To The Ground...

...in my mind, that is, in my imagination. I thought of it.

I was at the grocery store and a guy from the sheriff's department came in. I was in the checkout line, looking harmless, since I am.

And here comes a sheriff or deputy across the way, toward me, but more toward the space between me and everyone else. On his way past us.

He had a walkie-talkie in his hand and was looking down the aisles. Then he went down one of them and that was the last I saw of him.

When I got to the car I was thinking, Let's say I were the perp, I would want to look as inconspicuous and harmless as I must've looked standing there in line. Like Ho hum, is this line ever going to move? But I could've never managed it if I'd been guilty of something.

Then he would've wrestled me to the ground, I would've reached over to the freezer case and whacked him with a pack of Little Sizzlers. Then he would've cuffed me and that would've been it.

I'm fascinated by law enforcement. It's weird though when it's right there in plain sight, in the grocery store.

High Speed Chase

I happened to catch a few minutes last night of one of those high speed freeway chases that California is notorious for. They had it on Fox News, and it was a woman in a U-Haul truck, leading the police on a chase for over two hours.

The news channel cut off the chase report before it was over with, but today, looking around on the internet, I was able to see how it ended. She ran out of gas. Then she jumped from the truck and ran up the street. It looks like she tried to get into a car parked there but the driver drove away. A police officer, running about twice her speed, jumped her, and it looked like a painful take down.

They cuffed her, of course, and lead her away. There was nothing in the back of the truck, so it appears she just wanted the truck, and to get away.

There has to be something wrong with you to get into one of these chase situations. You're not going to get away. The helicopter above should be your first clue. They're going to get you. Just pull over and maybe things will be easier for you.
