She should get one of those free motorized scooters they advertise on daytime tv.

that's what I would do. And then run people over. Because I would be old and could do whatever I want.

Evidently, you can't do anything you want when you're old--crossing the street slowly being one of them. ;)

Just another sort of thing that makes the public hate the police. {Shaking head sadly.}

I love you Slot!! :D

I am saddened by what I perceive as a lack of common sense amongst cops and the police bureaucracies everywhere. I don't know how many guys I've talked to have had to do something per department policy that was over the top in handling a situation-and they didn't like that at all. Or how many times common sense wasn't used when it would clearly have been the best solution to a situation.

Believe me it is beyond frustrating. And getting worse I think.

If they were following policy, I understand. But geez, use a little discretion.

Maybe he had a quota to fill, and everybody hangs out there at the intersection to fill it?
