Dustin: Oh, To Be A Cop
Dustin Hurst:
I was working for a security company on the night of July 4, 2004 when some idiot vandalized
the band shell right in front of a bike cop. The guy took off running and the chase was on. The cop, still on his bike, tried to kick out the man’s leg, but fell down in the process. He then yelled for help to the crowd. I responded by dropping my phone and dashing right for where the dude would be in 3 seconds (being a former football player, I know how to pursue at angles). He got there first and I immediately dropped him to the ground in a football tackle sort of way. I pinned him to the grass with my elbow firmly planted in his back while I waited for the cop to come and cuff him. Man, that was a good night. I honestly wish I could be a cop. That’s be tons of fun.
Question: Have you ever wanted to be a cop?
