thank you jesus

One time I got pulled over by a cop in an unmarked SUV. After dropping his kid at school (using a public vehicle I might add) He made an illegal u-turn right in front of me and not knowing he was the "the heat" I sort of called him on it by pulling up fast right behind him.
So, on go the blue lights and I get that queasy "getting pulled over by the cops" feeling and here he comes: Huge, scary storm (woops) state trooper. Pointing to the statue of Jesus in front of the school he says "That is a statue of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and that is the only reason that I am not ripping your heart out of your chest right now."
I knew I didn't do anything terribly wrong and what I should have done is tell him I didn't really do anything wrong and report his badge number to his superior but I was just so happy to be alive that I didn't say anything. I sat there dumbfounded and if you know me personally you can picture that clearly in your mind.
He promised that if he ever even saw me again he would write a ticket for a thousand dollars. I guess they can do that. Thankfully I have not crossed this constables path since that time thus avoiding a fine of $1000.00 which I could never afford.

A few months later someone described to me an eerily similar experience happening to them.
Apparently no one has been able to stop him.
There's no denying the efficiency of fascism.
