Spade Cooley,
I love that story. Simply brilliant!
I have been the source of law enforcement's tender affections more often than I care to admit. I have a couple of "horror" stories that were really nothing of the sort - just a cop putting the fear of God - and jail - into a snot-nosed punk running wild.
In my adult encounters, not all of them pleasant, the officers acted professionally and civilly - with the exception of one disgrace with the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C.

That officer, Robert Remington, was later murdered by a suspect while responding to a burglary of a business in Georgetown.
Requiescat in pace.
