Most of my friends who work in law enforcement will tell you they are not surprised by anything they see and hear while on the job. It is the cautious curiosity that keeps them always on their toes and ever vigilant for the unexpected. Even though the officer did say what was about to happen could happen, I bet he wasn't really expecting it.

It happens all the time. People leave their pooches in the car when they run down to get a couple of things at the store.

Cops Shut Down Kid's Lemonade Stand, Is Common Sense On Vacation?

Bruce Mikells — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 15:24:41 +0000

I was driving to my daughter's house the other day and three little girls were waving poster boards on the corner in the neighborhood. They were standing in the yard next to a table laden with pitchers and cups and I immediately, even without reading the sign, knew they were selling either Kool-aid or lemonade. It's a degree above ridiculously hot outside and kids, including my own, love to make a few extra bucks offering passers-by a cup of something cool for a few cents or even a buck.

Citizen Tickets Cop: Police Say Nothing Done Wrong

Bruce Mikells — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 10:14:27 +0000

I have the utmost respect for the men and women who work in law enforcement. It is a tough demanding job that quite frankly should pay a hell of a lot more than it does. That being said, just because one is paid to enforce the law doesn't put one above the law or does it?

Bruce Mikells — Wed, 11 May 2011 09:26:44 +0000

Most of us fall under the heading "law abiding citizen" we pick up after our pets, we don't yell fire in the theatre and we try not to kill, even though most of us have a long list of people that could probably use it. The fact is we aren't as pure and chaste as we might lead ourselves to believe! We all break the law!

So what are the most common ways we wrong society and the rules it imposes upon us?

Police See Too Much

Bruce Mikells — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 15:20:24 +0000

I admire the men and women who choose law enforcement as a career. You put your life on the line everyday to protect my rights and freedoms. Quite often when you are just trying to do your job you get blamed for a mistake that WE made. That being said, I bet you guys and gals see some really "interesting" things when you are on the job.
