GUNS ON THE ROOF

A funny thing happened to me today. I was cycling along a street when i noticed some cars all parked in a bunch, upon getting closer i could see that they were police cars, marked and unmarked.
And as i was cycling past on my iron horse a copper with all the 'gun gear' run across my path, he had the bullet proof jacket, hip gun in its holster and a sub machine gun in hand, (and i did notice that a fairly large proportion of his clothing did appear to be made out of nylon that must 'chaff' in certain areas what with all those 'strap on' weapons) as he passed me i said to him "more parking tickets?" as a joke.
Well the copper didn't find me very funny and 'shot' me a look that made me think that i was seconds away from having my own 'de mendes moment' very soon, but the copper thankfully just turned away from me and got his way into a house opposite the one with the cop cars, thank god, i wasnt worth a bullet or the paper work.
It seems to me that if these coppers with guns are going to be so highly strung then they need to chill out a bit and do some yoga or ti-chi, or maybe listen to some 'mating whale' song tapes, maybe then they might not be so quick to point the guns man, its worth a thought.
