Community Relations.

Today while driving to work, I passed a lot of cops. By a lot, I mean at least 3, which is about 3 more than I usually see in the morning. One of the cops I passed was in a minivan, and on the side in huge lettering the van said Community Relations. I started laughing to myself, I immediately envisioned this officer pulling someone over on a busy street and caining them for all to see. I am not for sure that public cainings are in the Community Relations Officer's job description, but I am pretty sure it must be an unspoken thing. Well, actually, I don't really picture that there is a specific Community Relations Officer. I don't think most cops go into coppery to become Community Relations Specialists. I expect most cops go into it because the pay is good, you don't have to sit behind a desk all day, and you get to help people... and you get to carry a gun and give people shit and there isn't shit they can do about it oh, and the badge gets easy ladies with low self esteem! I expect that the Community Relations Officer is the Officer who is on some kind of suspension for shooting someone and getting caught. The getting caught part is the part Police Officials don't like.

I guess it isn't too strange right? Coca Cola totally has a Community Relations van, right? Oh, they don't? Hmmmmm. Other large publicly held entities don't have vans that announce their purpose is strictly for the use of relating to the community either? I am sure once this is posted, the community relations van will be here; 3 or 4 community relation stormtroopers will jump out, and toss me in a community relations body sack with a pad lock at the top, where I will be transported and held as an enemy combatant. I will let you all know how I relate to my new prison community. I wonder if they have community relations officers in prison? I can hardly wait to find out.
