Thanks to the cop who flagged me down on the 103 in the middle of the night when I was admittedly going a little too fast. I was sure I was being chased by a crazy lunatic (and drove faster) until the lights flashed. I was so appreciative that you were a) A cop, not an axe murderer, and b) A decent human being who didn’t throw his weight around so that I would have taken a ticket willingly. But you just reminded me about slowing down and looking out for deer (and made sure there wasn’t someone in my life I should be afraid of), that I drove away feeling safe. Given all we hear about our neighbours to the south and their policing issues, I am glad that you, decent cop, are out there, looking out for us. —Drove responsibly the rest of the way
