Stay in the boat!

An ankle!

Now years later I might be less annoyed if I could even honestly say we were horsing around or acting unsafe in any way, but we were not. And as best I recall were were in a no wake zone just idling along,,,

And interestingly in concert with your comments about new Officers, it was a relatively young Officer and he was by himself.

Oh well, old history for me.

Was the ankle attached to a foot???

In all seriousness, this is why law enforcement gets a bad name. Twice this year I’ve waved to an MP officer and I haven’t gotten a wave back. They just stared. “Whatever”....I say as I motor away. I’m a 35 year veteran of the emergency services and I’m sure if I were working on a scene with them, they’d be pleasant as all get out. When I’m out of a uniform and in a boat, I guess I’m another piece of lake trash looking for a ticket. Let me state for the record, I’m sure they are all not like this but my personal record this year doesn’t speak well to their community service. You’d think with the civil unrest around law enforcement, they’d be going out of their way to make a positive image for themselves. Again, I support law enforcement and have many friends that have worn the uniform. This is not about the profession, just about ill directed individuals wearing the uniform and thinking that earns them respect. Your actions earn you respect. Your uniform earns you compliance and a wave from me.
