Lawman

By Anonymous - 12/05/2009 18:29 - United States

Today, my boss in my police department told me to start enforcing the "No bikes on sidewalks" law, which we usually ignore. I pulled up behind the first person I saw riding a bike on a sidewalk and flashed my lights. It turned out to be a boy with Down's syndrome, who was so upset he cried and peed. FML

wow, that really sucks. its not your fault at all, how were you to know that the kid had down syndrome? You were just doing your job. Don't worry about it man

You shouldn't feel bad about enforcing the law, and you should definitely tell your boss what happened.

Aw, well, it was just your job, so it's not your fault. Why was that kid out by himself though? Shouldn't there be someone with him? And I don't see why people can't ride their bikes on sidewalks. It's dangerous to ride them on streets.

To those saying bikes lanes, that only makes sense when there are actually bike lanes to go on. I live in Montreal, a pretty huge city, but half the time I'm biking there are no cycling lanes at all. I have no choice but to ride on the road or the sidewalk.

i cannot understand why anyone in this world would think it was bad for someone to ride their bikes on the side walk, its stupid and dangerous to ride bikes on the road and why anyone would even want to is beyond me. I guess its just my curse to be smarter than everyone else.

Better than "Today, my boss in my police dept. told me to start enforcing the "no bikes on sidewalks" law which we usually ignore. I pulled up behind the first person I saw riding a bike on a sidewalk and flashed my lights. It turned out to be a boy with down syndrome. I continued to let him ride his bike on the sidewalk and I got fired. FML" Even though I doubt it would happen like that, I don't put anything past bosses, especially not cop bosses.
