i called a cop a bitch today and my kid hit her in the knee.- Warning, lots of C word.Submitted by PattyCakes on Sat, 03/22/2008 - 2:32am.
fucking c*nt, I hope she gets hit by a big truck. I went out all by my big girl self and took my kids to the Portland children's museum. So worth it, I am dropping 100 bucks on a membership cus at twenty one dollars a pop, I may as well. If you ever visit Portland you have to go, its amazing! So I never have been to the museum and I have never attempted to take a seven month old and a two year old and a three year old by myself on the bus or train because well, they just get all kinds of disruptive and pull the cord and want to stand up and throw temper tantrums every time the bus stops or the train because they wanna get off, but today I said screw sitting around the house and lets go. I lost Kim once at the museum, but I found her rather quickly. We closed the mother down, we had a ball! Even Miho Man.I bought some hydrogenated vegetable oil and high fructose corn syrup out of the vending machine and we departed sad to go but geeked to get our membership come Tuesday. The train ride back to the transit center was cool. I fed the kids their crappy little snacks and smushed them up so my famished baby had something to eat. Hes pee leaked all over me, and my bag was kicked by Kim and landed on its side spilling contents all over. I lost some quarters and a binky and whatever. My kids got into a arguement, whatever. I thought about changing Miho but thought it was so against social graces. I thought I should post that on hipmama. would you do it? So we get back to the hOllywood transit center and there are all these cops I guess and I ignore them. I am not very familiar with taking the Max, I didn't know what the hell was up. So as I am walking past a cop who is talking to some suit, this female officer yells at me, "MAM! MAM! YOU HAVE TO STOP!!" I am like, oh okay. " Wheres your ticket?" Oh, its one of these ticket raids. Then shes like, "Wheres your ID?" I don't have ID. My old man has my ID still from last night from cashing the tax return. He scooped it up while I bought diapers at Walmart last night. ( whatever its walmart our bank won't cash it but told us to go) She mother fucking blocked me from chasing after my child. She blocked me! Yes, On purpose. My three year old is running into a transit station surrounded by all kinds of god knows who, and wanting to GET ON A FUCKING BUS BY A BUSY ROAD and this fat ass fucking bitch is trying to keep ME AWAY FROM MY CHILD! I say, "My kid is running away! I have to get my kid" And I am yelling her name. Now my two year old is crying and calling for the three year old. What the fuck lady, are you writing a disertation? The cop just says in a command tone, "Don't run after her. Make her sit on the steps." She on her own accord gets about 2/3 way up the steps and looks freaked out and starts comming down, cop doesn't know this because her pro-wrestler sized back is turned. She says, " You need to control your children" I said, "what? Are you kidding me? They are two and three and " As I am saying this, my two year old just out of nowehere says, "SHHHHHHUUUUT UPPPPP, YOOOOOOOOOOUUUU" and smacks her on the knee. I ask the cop if her name was on the ticket. She says, "Yep." and now the two year old decides to walk away. This time she lets me by and wants to tell me all about how i am screwed and I said, "yeah, yeah." She says, " Its a 94 dollar citation." As I was walking away, I said, " BITCH!" Guess what, My husband just came home I guess my bus ticket was good for the MAX! I showed this to her in the beginning! We may be calling an attorney. this "lady"/cyborg was a total asshole! she purposely tried to get your kids hurt by stopping you and getting in between you and your toddler. she had no right to try to make an example of a woman with three children. this was straight up mean. this really hurts, and it was all over a fucking ticket? she knew better and didn't care. i feel bad about this - justice is on her way! hearts, dc slayer of giants, bad things, monster's and other shit! As a native Portlander I apologize for this very rude/power hungry bus cop! We have had tons of violent crime all along the MAX line and at the transit stations over the past few years and the city just placed about a dozen cops to patrol the line to reduce crime. The problem is, trouble doesn't usually present itself with the cop presence there, and they are bored to tears, so they just bust people for riding without fare. That cop was way out of line to harass you with 3 small children in tow! And to get between a mother and her child is unacceptable! Save your ticket and the MAX ticket, they are usually date stamped and time stamped. If you have proof of payment you won't be liable for a fine. And as far as the cop is concerned, lodge a complaint with her name and id number. The more of those she has, perhaps she will get busted down to some other duty that better suits a bitch like her, say water sanitation plant guard duty? If you ever get in a situation like that again, just give a fake name and address. They can't do shit to you, and aside from the initial annoyance, you don't have to fight a fine. I'm sending you better traveling vibes mama! Go confidently in the direction of your dreams good for you for standing up for yourself and your children! and way to go with contacting the media and an attorney. what a blatant case of BS! best of luck to you in whatever legal/bureaucratic hoops you have to jump through. definitely give updates. mad props to you for reacting swiftly! "revolution is not a one time event" Audre Lorde Good for the 2 year old for sticking up for her family! I'm such a conflict-o-phobe I would have cried instead of your, more appropriate, anger. To answer the diaper changing question- I almost did it in a quiet corner of a bar the other night, but I thought I was pushing my luck, so I carried my wiggling screaming 16 month old to the other end of the earth to get to the bathroom with the changing station. Good thing I did, because it was the most horrific diaper ever. Tri Met fare inspectors are so friggin awful. All *that* over one measly fare? call & complain, compose a letter to he oregonian, Williamette week, KGW, KOIN & the big wigs at tri met. Yes, & call a lawyer. What a bitch. She had a swift kick coming from the word go. This is one to fight for. They are & always have been way too aggressive when checking fares and they very often forget that they are not the police, they inspect fares...big difference. She should go down. She should be severely reprimanded and in public. I am so, so sorry that you and your children had this experience. I'm all fired up! Totally get her ass! What was she thinking??? I'm sorry that this happened to you. "Life may not be the party we hoped for but while we're here we might as well dance".- Maya Angelou What the fuck. Burn her up! I'm so sorry this happened! I'm glad you got out to the museum, though and had a great time but yes that cop was so out of line. Was it a trimet ticket taker or portland police? ***the United States is one of only four out of 168 countries studied to not have some form of paid family leave for new moms. We join Swaziland, Papua New Guinea, and Lesotho in not having that policy in place. *** Cunt indeed! Fuck her! Seriously, file that complaint. I would LOVE an update on this story. Vibes that that bitch gets what is coming to her! oh my god Cakes! that's CRAZY you'd think a chic would be more sensitive to a mom with kids! That is so lame, I would definately complain to her supervisor AND fight the ticket. Save that dang ticket stub, no judge in their right mind would enforce that ticket, that's insanity--i have a hard enough time keeping track of my GD car keys from my door to the car, finding my bus pass usually killed me! Jeez, what a stressful trip! I hope you get lots of restful chill time this weekend - gawd I'd be pissed and shaking and... UGH. I'm glad your daughter hit her, that's funny! and file a complaint and get her in trouble with her supervisor. i'm pretty sure you can call the court and inform them that you intend to fight the ticket and you're retaining an attorney. though i don't know how advisable that is, maybe it's better to just show up in court and tell them then, so they're unprepared. anyway in the meantime, while you wait for the court date, you can talk to her supervisor and file a FORMAL complaint. (as in, don't settle for a supervisor telling you he/she will talk to the officer and "take care of it," make it formal and get it in writing) get all aggressive and tell them that this officer endangered your child and you're not letting it slide, you're suing and you are filing a complaint. that it's not about the ticket, but this officer actually prevented you getting your child out of a dangerous situation. and it will be in her file forever. you may just get that ticket dropped, to avoid the hassle. you know, cops aren't supposed to fuck with mothers with their children. it's like an unwritten code or something. a cop who deviates from that has serious problems.
I'd have been pissed mama! *hugs* sorry you had to go through that, must have been scary as hell. Yeah I can not imagine keeping Bugs "in line" without having to pick him up every few minutes and bitch should have realized that. That bitch is a bitch. I would raise all sorts of hell. How the hell is she going to block you from making sure your kids stay safe?!! I really don't condone kids hitting-but with this situation I must say: YOU GO KIDDO!! Oh, its on. I guess They aren't cops, can't detain let alone try and physicaly block me from making my children safe. I have called the news. She didn't even look at my bus ticket, which was valid. I didn't even know I didn't have to buy a Max ticket. But she knew. what a power tripping nutcase! Calling the news is a good start -- now call the whoever is in charge of the bus system and of her. Awesome that you have her name -- I don't know if it works this way but how vindicating would it be to hear "Bitchy mc Bitch of lame ass rent a cops is being held for violation of...and traumatizing Patty and her 3 lovely children. up next on the channel 5 news at 10" |
What a tool!
