The 3 Rules

All the civilians, or "silly-vilians" as I like to call them, that I come in contact with on or off duty always complain and moan about what cops should do and what cops shouldn't do. The comments usually start with, "Oh you're a cop, well let me tell you what a cop did to me..."

I always tell them the same thing and that I have the answer for all their concerns and criticisms about cops. I let them in on the three cardinal rules that all cops are taught on the first day of the academy and that plays an important role in everything cops do.

If the civilian world would simply understand our three cardinal rules, they will easily answer their own questions when bitching about cops. Here are the rules tax payers; so play close attention...

RULE #1: ALWAYS GO HOME AT THE END OF YOUR SHIFT

-We strictly adhere to RULE#1 to avoid situations like this....

RULE #2: NEVER GO HUNGRY

-Eating gets us in a good mood! Even if it is Ice Cream!

RULE #3: NEVER GET WET

-Idle time with nothing to do in the rain leads to bad ideas..

There you have it. The cat's out of the bag!

So, if people wonder why that guy is hand-cuffed or why the cops used force or the Taser then see RULE #1. If people wonder why there are police cars parked at the Denny's, then SEE RULE #2. And, if people wonder why there are no cops on the roads when it's raining...SEE RULE #3.
