In 90, I was pepper sprayed for a five mph over the speed limit.

Around here, they join the Parks force until an opening happens at local police forces. This kid was obviously picked on a lot in high school.

I was in conversation with his partner(a more stable individual) the kid did not like it when I told him to be quite adults are talking. He pulled out his pepper spray and got me real good. I remember it looking like a garden hose on a picture window... Lucky for him I had been drinking. The three beers I had on a buddy's boat made me guilty of a crime(.08).

The bastard was lucky...real lucky. If I was not "Impaired", he would have lost his job. His Partner told me in court, when get this...the kid offered probation if I apologized to him for saying what I said!

I stood up in front of everyone in the room(assistant prosecutor included), and told the little bastard to go get F%^$#%^%!. I ended up with probation for 6 mths...

Most of the time the civilians are in the wrong.Because I have experienced the dark side of LEO wannabees, I raise a brow over this article...

Out of curiousity, what reason did he give? I'm guessing he had to have cited more than just your impairment.

If you were not impaired, would you have said what you did? What had he done to cause you to say it?
