Freaking small-town cops!

[eee1313]

So I'm driving home from work, and I'm about two blocks from home. There's a cop parked alongside the road, across two driveways. All of a sudden, just as my front bumper is aligned with his back bumper, the cop turns on his lights and floors it -- right into my lane! The cop was going to fucking make a U-turn in the middle of the street, from the shoulder, without a) putting on his lights to let us know he had to be somewhere now, b) giving me (or the driver in the oncoming lane) enough time to slow down for him (I was doing 20 mph), or -- most importantly -- c) checking the fucking oncoming traffic to see if he was going to hit anyone! His car nearly broadsided me, and when I kept going because I couldn't stop (and swerved into the oncoming lane, where the opposing driver had slammed on his brakes because of this), the cop had the nerve to give ME a dirty look! Fucker! You nearly hit me, you completely ignore the rules of the road, and you're going to glare at ME? Asshole! You wonder why so many people detest cops. Ugh!

The kicker? There was absolutely no one on the road behind me.

I swear, if that cop had hit me, I would have pitched a fucking fit with the city. What an asshole!

(Also, a plane just flew overhead so low that it made my whole apartment shake, and it sent the cat running for cover. I live about six miles from the Loop -- somehow I think this is a no-fly zone for airplanes. What was that about?)
