you've got justifiable cause TO arrest me. You're just a bitch in a uniform with a bad attitude. I repeat, you tell me what the problem is, and I'll cooperate. But you just don't get in my face and make demands. You're no better than anybody else."
"If you don't cooperate right now," the police officer screamed, "I will arrest you! I'll have you fired!"
"Do it!" I told her.
The police officer stood there and literally growled. Finally she said, "you're interfering with the investigation of a traffic accident. I have every right to demand your name. You have no right to treat me in this manner. I am performing my duties. Now give me your name!"
"That's b--- s---!" I told her. But at least it's something. Very well!"
I gave her my name and address.
"Now, get out of here!" the police officer screamed, "or I will arrest you."
"Shove it up your a- -, bitch!" I told her, and walked off.
"I'm a police officer!" she screamed, as I walked off. "You don't treat me like that! I'm a police officer!"
"And I'm an American citizen," I answered.
Several minutes later the manager on duty came back and told me I was not to go outside again, that the police officer had said if I did so she would arrest me.
"She did, did she?" I commented, and started for the door. The supervisor grabbed me and held me back.
"Let it go, Gerald," she commented, "She's not worth it!"
"Oh, I suppose you're right," I answered, and went back to work.
The next morning when I came in the manager came up to me. "You're out of here, Gerald," he announced, "you're fired. You don't talk back to a police officer. That's against company policy. When a police officer asks you to do something you do it without question. It was ridiculous. You had to be held back. The officer SHOULD have arrested you. You were way out of line!"
"That's YOUR opinion!" I answered. "We'll see what the unemployment office says.""
The unemployment office agreed with me fully, that the police officer was way out of line, and I had been fired for unjustified reasons.
I wrote a letter of complaint to the police department and took it in personally. The lieutenant I gave it to told me to get to hell out of his office and don't ever come in lying about one of his officers again!
I gave the letter of complaint to the city manager and to each member of the city council. They, too, refused to do anything. So in response The Lords have forbidden me and m6y people to have anything to do with that community forever, or until such time as They rectify the situation. We cannot build anything in that community or, live in that community, which is extremely sad, because that community is my home town, the place where I grew up, and where my fondest memories are. But I am a Servant Of The Lords, and I will obey Them.

THE END
