Narcotics Anonymous

While getting ready for patrol on last night I noticed my horse had a loose horseshoe so that would mean that I would have to ride a different horse. Wasn't really looking forward to it but what can you do shit happens. As soon as we get in the downtown area this nice looking girl comes over to us and tells us she is from out of town and is looking for a narcotics anonymous meeting and wanted to know if we knew where there was one. My partner looked stunned and didn't know what to say because it's not a common answer found in his "Rolodex" of everyday questions. For some strange reason I felt compelled to find an answer for her because she was very persistent. I pictured her in a few hours unable to find a meeting and then getting all cracked up somewhere so I searched high and low and came up with a phone number for her to call........what a relief. Later on that night a car drove by us while we were on our mounts on the side of the road and the driver gave us the bird as he drove by. My partner saw this and started to chase after the car which as fate would have it was stopped at a red light. A few seconds later I followed. After stopping a car you either write a ticket or say your two sense, you should never do both. My partner chose the latter and ripped him a new ass....professionally! He then gave him back his paperwork and told him to go on his way. Never intended on giving him a ticket but you have to stop people. You can't let them get away with things or the next cop they encounter they may try to get away with a little more. Sometimes people assume because we are on horse that we won't do anything but it's great to see the look on their face when we do!!
