Officer is chasing a stolen car down the interstate, the stolen car catches on fire and the suspect bails out at the tollboth, officer gives chase on foot, bad guy runs around and jumps into the still running police car takes off down interstate, officer commandeers what turns out to be slowest car on planet, finds wrecked police car down the road in another city, everybody else laughing too hard to come to help.....He still hears about that to this very day.....

BWAHAHAHAHA!!! I saw a police video once, where a 16-year old girl had been pulled over on the median after a lengthy chase. The squad cars have her boxed in against the median wall. Pretty soon, she's in utter hysterics, sobbing and screaming and ramming the squad cars, rocking her car back and forth, and blubbering like a crack-addled manic depressive the entire time. It was a pretty amazing (and hilarious) piece of footage.

Those are funny. We may have to ask the mods for a split so we can hear more stories. Call it say...I don't know. So, next story please.

SteveDiver, yes you are right...I haven't experienced the damage like you have and thats why I still consider life precious. Your comments tell me you are totally insensitive to society. From what I see you would be happy if every drunk and druggie would just die. You're right you don't have any sympathy, it shows.

I was working patrol one morning and walked up a long icy walkway. Right as I got to the top I sliped on the ice, landing flat on my back, arms and feet sticking straight up in the air, whereapon I slid the whole way down the the sidwalk (about 20 feet) back into the parking lot. Worst part was it was morning rush hour, so only about 100 people got to witness the incident.

I was in a plainclothes unit that worked specific hard core crimes, we wore long hair, beards, earrings and were armed to the teeth, just so you have the picture, we were pretty scary looking to the civilians...two of us are on foot one night walking along a beach scoping something out, we hear godawful screaming coming from a cottage on the beach. We think "rape", so we draw our weapons and charge the house, kicking the door down and charging into the back of the house were more screaming ensued from the two naked people therein, we secured the naked guy threw a blanket over the naked woman identified ourselves, told her why we were there whereupon she told us:"Officers I always sound like that when my husband and I make love".....we gave her money for the door and slunk off into the night.....

OK, ASK AWAY!!!

Why would (Gaston) Glock take a perfectly functional pistol such as the original model 17 and:

1) stipple the frame
2) rework the magazine release/well so it dropped the mag free rather than simply "un-latching" it
3) offer that freaking horrendous "NY" or "NY+" trigger group

Man, the model 17 I owned years ago was "schweet" and did not need any so-called improvements.

I used to have a habit, thankfully gown out of, of locking my keys in my squad car on a routine basis. This was usually done when spare keys were inaccesable for one reason or anouther, and I tended to leave things ie..my gun, laying on the seat in plain sight. Nothing better than a bunch of cops standing around try to slim jim a squad car.

Our problem was leaving the car unlocked...there was this officer with a steering wheel puller and a wrench, if he found your car unlocked he would pull the steering wheel, call the disptachers on a land line and have them frantically call you on the radio giving you an exciting crime to respond to....imagine running out to your car, all pumped up, jumping in, fumbling for the keys, only to realize you had no steering wheel....
