It s easy to poke fun at cops. The jokes about the doughnut shops. The old saw about there never being a cop around when you need one.
People get mad when they get pulled over for speeding.
Of course it s always the cops fault. These things are especially prevalent in a small town that is largely devoid of serious crime. Maybe it s because cops are so visible. Always in the public eye. On any given morning, there are literally thousands of people in this town eating doughnuts at their desks or on their production line.
