Hug Da Police!

[wednes]

Despite the fact that I am a total stoner, I have no real issues with the police on the rare occasion that I have to deal with them. So when they used to call every 6 months or so, and offered me a sticker for a donation, I was happy to slip them $10 here and there. I'm not wealthy, but I feel okay doing that.

Tonight though, I got one of those calls that was really pushy and rude, and I ended up agreeing to send $15, even though I didn't want to and can't afford it.

I'm pretty pissed off about it. I'm annoyed that I let myself get bullied by a cop even though it was over the phone (I was pretty high). And I'm irritated that even though I am cool about contributing that they would still call at 9pm and railroad me while I'm trying to relax in my own home.

I think I will not send the money.
I need to figure out what to tell them when they called to check on it.

I made the mistake of donating to some police fund not to long ago. It just snowballed. I get calls from firefighters organizations and emergency workers and different police funds. The last that called was talking about country music and some song. I didn't feel like listening to him talk about county music so I set the phone on the counter. After a few minutes I hung up. It let him give his speel and let me not listen to it. Win/win situation.
