Cops

Today Jeff and I were driving home from a place and I saw a cop get very mad.  Driver 1 was passing driver 2 when he must have saw the police car in his rear view mirror.  He slowed down to the speed limit which was about what driver 2 was doing.  I was doing about the speed limit, 35 mph, a few car lengths behind driver 2.  The policeman was going pretty fast until he got caught behind these two cars both going the speed limit.  He got verrrrry close to driver 1.  We closed the gap between us and driver 2 so we could see the cop clenching the steering wheel and mumbling angrily.  Having the cop’s bumper about 2 feet away from driver 1’s bumper must have made driver 1 uncomfortable because he kicked it up to 36 or 37 miles per hour and slowly started to pull away from driver 2.  I expected driver 1 to get a little bit ahead of driver 2 then pull into our lane.  But he did not have time as soon as there was a tiny gap the cop cut off driver 2 and sped off causing driver 2 to slam on his brakes and kill us all.  Okay, we did not die, but we had to slam on out brakes also which is almost as bad.  

If the laws are there to keep us safe then why do the cops not obey them?  I know, because the laws like speeding and dui are really there just to make money.  All I am saying is the cops should do something at least once a week to keep America safe, like hanging out at McDonnalds for a few hours on a Tuesday and slapping cheeseburgers out of fat kids hands instead of making us slam on our brakes so I bonk my nose on the steering circle.
