i have no problem with law enforcement, i have a problem with crooked cops. i know out in the “boondocks” you dont see a lot of what goes on in the real world. i’ve been busted for drinking when i was underage, and beleive it or not, it was the “classes” they sent me through that taught me a lot about how crooked law enforcement can actually be. our teacher was a retired officer and taught us the good and the bad side of the law. so before you pre-judge my statement, perhaps you should step out of the “boondocks” and into the real world to see what life is like.

b/c cops are crooked, they look out for their own and punish everyone else. one of my friends dad used to be a cop. they would have christmas parties every year paid by funds seized from drug dealers and booze seized from underage drinkers. all the cops would get all liqoured up, AND DRIVE THEMSELVES HOME drunk. funny, there were no roadblocks that night.

I went to a wedding not too long ago. The bride was 19 & groom was 20. They were ofcourse drinking. & Their were cops their. The brides brother is a cop & the father of the bride’s best friend is the cheif of police in a small town in Mobile County. So how come if your all buddy buddy w/ the cops you can drink but, if you dont know them you cant? what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

As a teenager on a double date, I was driven to a local riding stable. We were supposed to be going to a movie.  When we arrived, the other couple and my date got out of the car and walked a few yards to the lake . I refused to get out of the car. My date returned within a few minutes and named some of my schoolmates who were swimming in the lake. He said they were drinking and skinny dipping and wanted me to join them. I told him if he didn’t get the car keys and take me home immediately, I would walk to the nearest phone and call my daddy. 

He took off running to get the keys. He drove me home and I never went anywhere with him again.  That poor boy doesn’t know how lucky he was that he took me home. My daddy was a very strict man and he put the fear of God in me. 

Other students tried to get me to drink but I had tasted alcohol and it was nasty. They said, “I will fix it so you can’t taste it”.  My reply was, “If you have to fix it where you can’t taste it, then why bother?”

Yep, I went to a number of alcohol and drug related teen funerals myself back in the day. This isn’t a new problem, and I’d be willing to bed it isn’t as easy to get now as it was back in my time. I’m glad they are working to curb it though. It’s sad to see a young person die because of something they shouldn’t have been able to get their hands on in the first place.
