I popped out to the bank, less than half a mile, walked back down one of the side roads, noticed someone sitting in their car reading a newspaper, with the engine running.
A few minutes at home - fielded a phone call, changed shoes, off out again to the train station, chose the same route. There she is still, sat there reading with the engine running. Now I'm at the window. Excuse me, your engine is running. She's closed, no reaction. I'm talking clearly at the glass: I came past ten minutes ago and it was running then. We only have the one planet. Faint response, finger to the head. I heard the motorsound replaced by a reluctant sort of silence behind me as I shuffled on.
All the details of this incident isn’t quite clear. Drivers in NYC and other places alike are ALWAYS going to be aggressive drivers. Apparently they were both playing cat-and-mouse with each other. If the cop was more responsible, he would’ve just left the situation alone and go about his business. People exchange gestures and comments with drivers everyday, besides, that victim could’ve been undercover as well. Just because he’s a cop, doesn’t mean he’s above the law. That cop should be permanently suspended and taken to trial.
