I don’t know why people don’t believe this story. One time my buddy and I raced each other to a local bar and whoever lost had to buy the drinks. Anyway, I’m doing 60 in a 35 MPH zone when I see the flashing lights behind me. I pulled over and gave the cop my story, and wouldn’t you believe it the cop escorted me to jail.
A lot of division over the validity of this. A lot of strife over the "nothingeverhappens"ism of Lemmy. To weigh in on this as objectively as I possibly can, this reads like absolute bullshit, and it’s the first time I’ve seen something so absurdly dumb on Lemmy that I’ve witnessed mention of people clapping, Albert Einstein, and r/nothingeverhappens.
There are degrees of these things. r/nothingeverhappens exists for people who think a person’s story about their toddler saying something really clever is fake, or senselessly believe that some mundane or humorous encounter could not possibly be real.
r/thathappened is for people who claim their father went nearly twice the speed limit, got pulled over by police, told them he was on a race to reach Papa’s Pizza, and was promptly forgiven and escorted by them at a dangerous speed to overtake another vehicle and get him there first.
The waters on reddit were muddied a very long time ago.
It’s a slippery slope, folks.
That definitely happened, cops don’t care about road safety at all
I’m confused, it sounded sarcastic but like… Do you think cops care about road safety or not?
Cops don’t care about road safety. They’re playground bullies with guns who get to terrorise the people who actually passed high school, as long as they protect Capital from protests and uprisings, and keep black people beneath white people in the social order by catching slaves for the prisons.
Glad I asked, I found the story believable for that same reason but wasn’t sure if you were sarcastic.
Traffic cops could be a huge help to social order, but nah, rather just be petty tyrants who bring cash into the city via the laziest means of ticketing possible.
Lot of people in the comment doesn’t seem to get it and I feel like explaining it would be too stupid but still - He is not getting an escort the police are chasing him cause he drove away to win the race . Fuck I feel bad explaining this and its gonna bite me in the ass if i didn’t understand it correctly and it was sarcasm or something .
Why does no one believe this happened? I’ve seen lots of stuff like this. In fact I once got a police escort to a Type O Negative concert in an almost similar fashion.
Between the Papa’s Pizza and the Type O Negative I feel like this thread was made for me personally…
I say this as a man in a Type O shirt with a bottle of Papa’s Ranch in my fridge.
