I was driving home from the Indy 500 one year and a tornado went through the southside of Indy just minutes before I arrived. The place was a shambles and debris all over the roads. As I was driving trying to find an unblocked road, I saw at the last second a downed power line handing over the road at windshield level. I stopped just in time. I got out of the car and was going to toss my rubber floor mat over the line to make it more visible so no driver would accidentally drive into it. Right then a cop shows up. He gets out of his car and walks over and reaches to grab the cable and pull it out of the way. I screamed at him “Stop! Don’t do that! That’s a live power line”. He jerked back when he realized what I said just inches from the line. The he gets all mad a me for being there I guess and yelling at him. I probably saved his life and he takes an attitude because he didn’t get to be one in charge. Oh well.
He was more worried about you making him look stupid than grateful to you for saving his life. You didn’t respect his authoritah.
Was that 1981? Or 2005?
