Good cop, wanna donut?

This morning on our way back from getting donuts (at a new place at Briar Creek called the Fractured Prune), we were driving through the Park when we actually saw a Durham cop pull someone over for a traffic violation! The guy had pretty much run a red light, and the cop turned on his lights, ran the intersection too, and pulled him over. This NEVER happens here, since all the cops are too busy twiddling their thumbs to do anything (an amazing feat, since they simultaneously have their thumbs stuck in their tushkusses). Mommy and Daddy considered pulling over behind the cop and rewarding him with a couple donuts, but they thought better of it. Maybe a change is coming to Durham's streets? Red-light-runners, watch out!

We have a couple Durham cops that live in our development. One of them will pull you over for going 1 mph over the speed limit or for running the stop sign, at least if you're in our developement. The other two seem to think that the rules don't apply to them - they park in the street on a regular basis (a no-no), speed, run the stop sign. I hate them. Be the solution, not part of the problem!!
