Karma’s a bitch, ain’t it?

I never really believed in karma before, but I guess now I do. Feel free to rub it in, Sharon. Here’s the story…

So 2 years ago I was pulled over for doing a ‘rear-wheel drive burnout’ in a front-wheel drive Taurus family sedan by an asshole cop who was rude to me, was yelling at me, and gave me the biggest ticket he could possibly give me simply because I let out the clutch too fast and chirped the tires, even when I was nothing but calm and polite to him and explained it was an accident. He blatantly lied on the police report (said I did a burnout and was drag racing, swear to God) and even told me before he wrote up my ticket, “By the time I’m done with you you won’t have a license.”

I had to take it to court and got out of it at my own cost (lawyers are expensive), and nothing was ever done to this clown, and since then I’ve always HATED passing through that small town (it neighbors the town I live in now), since I know he’s still lurking around there and I really do worry that something like that could happen again. Lastly, and I’ll admit it, I’m a little bitter that this man has paid no consequences for what he did.

Imagine my surprise when I see this story pasted all over the front page of our local news:

I would recognize that guy ANYWHERE, especially his name, which was signed on the ticket and I’ve never forgotten… Stafford. The same jerk that pulled me over and harassed me and caused me all kinds of legal grief just made the front page of all of our local news stations for domestic violence, stalking, and official misconduct.

Firstly, I’m amazed that someone with those kind of anger problems was able to be in a police officer’s uniform for a full (at LEAST) 2 years before someone noticed it.

Secondly, and more importantly, I never thought I would live to see this guy get what’s coming to him. Cops like him are an embarrassment to the good ones that bust their asses to keep us safe, and it’s clear that the rage problems he had 2 years ago are just as prevalent now as ever.

BTW, that second link has a picture of him if you want to see the guy that gave me such a hard time. He was a little less bald 2 years ago, but still looks the exact same. Hardly a face you could forget when it’s buried right in yours, yelling about what he’s going to do to you. Take a look at that face. That’s the face of a psycho, the face of a guy with a serious rage problem. I have the utmost respect for cops, but guys like this are what ruin it all for the good ones.

After reading those articles, all I can think of is that karma’s a bitch, ain’t it Mr. Stafford? What goes around comes around. Consider me a believer.
