I think some cops get REALLY carried away with the cool toys they get to play with at work, and the uniforms they get to wear. And how they get to boss people around and make them do what they want.

I think, it was awe inspiring. Inappropriate and unromantic, perhaps to some, but you cant deny the joy on her face.

I give these first responders a pass on this.

That's why you can't get a girl, bro. You're too sensitive. Girls don't like sensitive dudes. They like hard dudes that have a sensitive side. That's different.

Jeez, I hate it that everything succumbs to the entertainment disease. I mean, there are scads of YouTube videos where some dolt staged similar stunts, only to get spurned in the most humiliating fashion possible.

2) This isn't romance. This is coercion. The fact that it's being done by being pulled over by a Sherriff doesn't help.

3) I can't imagine how scaring the bejeezus out of someone is a good idea. And the fact that it worked this time isn't exactly a recommendation.

4) Finally, if the guy has to enlist his buddies to shanghai his girlfriend into accepting his marriage proposal, then he has testicles the size of English peas. Just be a man and do it at your local restaurant over the veal.

Did the female say yes? If so, then what is the point of all this? Why you so scared?

You're new here ain't you?

First, it's The Diss or Diss, NOT bro. Secondly, you apparently ain't read my posts, I'm the hardest dude on this forum. Others will say to a fault. Third, I'm just sensitive about using taxpayer resources and a position of public trust to scare the outta my girlfriend, I'm just a misfit like that.

Because some dunce will say, "Oh, what a great idea!"

I had a buddy who was a cop. His favorite tactic for trying to meet women was to pull them over on some trivial offense. "Did you ever get a date from it?" "Well, no...."

If you can't see all the things wrong with this, from the introduction of power dynamics to the fact that it's a stupid, juvenile stunt, I just don't know what to tell you.

Sounds like he watched Me Myself And Irene too many times. Guess he couldn't afford the plane and the banner?

I think the DUI thing was in poor taste, perhaps he should have just pulled her over for a fake broken brake light. She didn't seem to have an issue with it, though.

Use of government property for personal gain is never "cute". Heck, when in a government car you can't even stop to pick up personal things like your dry cleaning if its along the way.
