I wish I could get my chill back!
Got a fair amount of sleep, but not enough. Woke up feeling a bit tired, a little pain, but a good mood with getting my light in today..............and that's knowing I have to deal with DPS morons to get my driver's licence.
I get there and a little old man just beat me in getting there. This was day two in trying to get a walk in appt, after the online would not let me schedule a renewal appt. Yeah, ya have to have an appt to get a license.
Anyway, the little old man(91 yr old Air force Vet) gets outta his truck and we have a convo and I try to help him. This is about 30 min before the tiny office opens up. We are talking between our parked vehicles. This local cop pulls up and hollers at us. I ignore the idiot and the old man didn't hear him. Parking is not marked off and runs parallel to the street. Both of us are legally parked and I left enough space between cars so neither of us could get blocked in.
This moron parks his car, in a lane of traffic, and gets out and starts barking ORDERS. I looked at him and continue my conversation with the old man. Mr Lord High Sheriff moves aggressively towards me and SHOUTS, "I KNOW YOU HEARD ME!"
"YEAH MUTHERFUCKER! I HEARD YOUR STUPID ASS! THE PROBLEM IS THAT I'M NO LONGER IN THE MILITARY TO HAVE TO TAKE ORDERS AND I'M NOT YOUR DOG OR YOUR EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY ABUSED WIFE! NEITHER OF US ARE CURRENTLY DOING ANYTHING WRONG, HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG AND DON'T PLAN TO DO ANYTHING WRONG, SO YOU NEED TO GO ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS AND LEAVE US THE FUCK ALONE!" By this time, others have arrived to witness this and out popped phones recording this. Mr Popo has no dash or body cam, so this is good that others are recording
Awwwwwww! Little Big Man am mad! This dumb ass then says to me, "GIVE ME YOUR ID!"
I chuckle. In a calm voice I ask, "So officer, exactly what crime are you arresting me for?"
Still being overaggressive, he shouts, "Disorderly conduct and interfering with an officer's duties if you don't hand over your ID!"
"Oh really?", I reply. "If that's the case, I'm STILL not going to give you my ID. In the State Of Texas, I only have to give my ID if I am being LAWFULLY arrested. Both Disorderly conduct and interfering with an officer's duties are physical acts" He interrupts me, "Cussing is disorderly conduct if it offends me."
LOL! It's soooooooo tempting to let loose with some hardcore sailor cussing, but this bitch puts his hand on his UNSNAPPED weapon. "Get your fucking hand off your gun asshole!" comes from someone in the group watching. He moves his hand away. He's too close to me. He
would not have got a shot off, but I am
really glad I didn't have to do anything!
I could hear someone calling 911 and I'm sure he did too. This gave me a
chance to de-escalate the situation. "Listen officer. You can't be the one offended. That comes from the Supreme Court. Neither of us has done a thing wrong and neither one of us are driving. We don't have to obey UNLAWFUL orders. So if you want to pursue this further, then you just go ahead and arrest me. I'm still not going to give you my ID. If you take it from my person, you will violate my 4th amendment rights and I will pursue criminal and civil charges. Go ahead and try to get one of these people to state they were offended, but I don't think you'll get any takers." Outta the peanut gallery someone shouts loudly, "Yeah! Fuck that bitch!" The cop turns his head towards the gallery and tried to see who shouted and scowled at them. What a fucking moron! I could have easily and quickly taken him out.
The shout did make me chuckle!
This is occurring right off the courthouse square and a block from the popo station, so luckily a shift supervisor pulls up and actually legally parks. He comes up to the officer and tells him to get his car out of the traffic lane. He comes up to me and I fill him in on what transpired and what his officer did. We were close enough for everyone to hear and that same voice from the gallery said, "Yup! Exactly what happened!" Mr Lord High Sheriff comes back, but the Supv waves him off. I smile.
He apologizes and tells me I can file a complaint if I wanted. I asked for the file number for him to come out and told him that if that officer pulls me over, I will consider it official oppression and I WILL pursue it. He gave me the number and they both leave.
"Yeah!" comes from the peanut gallery as they leave!
Seems the peanut gallery shouter was an Ex-Bubblehead(submariner) that was at Pearl on a boat while I was there. He said, I KNEW you were a damn squid at one time by the way that little cussing rant went off so damn smoothly! LOL!
I did get my silly ass appointment from the very attentive and helpful worker. Gotta get her name when I return. She helped the little old man first. I'll sent a report to Austin and give her some 'atta girls' . She conducted herself as she should have, unlike the bitch yesterday.
Yeah, I 'won'. But that was just pure bullshit! It has me fired up and I just can't calm down. Posting this and typing it out has helped some. Crap like that is all too common, but I just didn't expect that shit to occur this morning and where it occurred. Like I told the supervisor, I didn't give my young life to my country and sacrificed all that I and others do every day to protect and defend our country and uphold the Constitution. I will not and cannot let anyone do that to me or anyone around me.
I did ask everyone to not post their vids anywhere, but it's your right to do so if you want.
I guess one of the things that holding my chill back, aside from the obvious, UPS is being stupid. I got an email yesterday late morning that the delivery had changed on my light to yesterday afternoon. It didn't make sense then and still doesn't. I check it this morning and it says this afternoon. I hadn't signed on to UPS yet and I wanted to give
specific dropoff instructions. I sign on and now it won't show up. I log out and it still won't show up. I called UPS and get someone with English as their second language and they have comprehension problems.
F it! I'm just going outside and mix up my media and get it wetted down properly. I hate it when I LET outside things get me unsettled. Too much of a control freak! LOL!
Hope you guys enjoy or are entertained by my story
