[QUOTE="Danny Tanner, post: 1969616, member: 10619"] Went out to run some errands and was on my way home when my mirrors lit up. I was going 50 in a 45 so I knew that had to be it. Edmond PD comes up to my window and I hand him my DL and CCL. He asks where my gun is and I tell him it's holstered at my 3:30. He asks me to not make any grabs for it and I respond, "No problem." He notices my Tinker badge in my cup holder and asks me what I do there. He's ex-Navy and we talk about my work for a bit. It wasn't until he was handing me back my licenses (which he never bothered to run) that he told me why he pulled me over -- tag light is out. I chuckled and said, "I thought it was because I was speeding." Either way, I was a little nervous considering it was my first time, but he was totally casual and cool about it. We discussed how I work the graveyard shift and since it was after 10:30 he asked, "You're not going straight to work now, are you?" I wasn't, but he said, "I'm sure you know to drop it off first." I acknowledged. He continued, "Which is just insane considering what happened at Ft Hood. What are they thinking?" I know that bad cops get more hate than good cops get love, so I wanted to share another great interaction with those trusted to protect and serve. With his comment about Ft Hood, it shows that there's one more LEO out there who not only tolerates, but supports, us. [/QUOTE]
