      They can literally murder people in broad daylight and at worst they get a paid vacation and a transfer.

        Or follow the speed limit. But when they do, it’s 5 under and they scare the shit out of other drivers

      I’m a school bus driver and a couple of years ago I had a cop pass me in the opposite direction when I was stopped with my red flashers and stop sign out and about to let kids out to cross the street. He was face down in his phone. If I hadn’t noticed him coming he easily could have hit a kid … and then I probably would have been arrested.
