Our Own Version of "COPS"


This picture is of the scene that happen RIGHT on my front door step this past Saturday (06.02.2012).  Except, the person who got arrested was female and African American.  Crazy eh!?!  We had just gotten home from running around somewhere, when I hear a knock on the door.  So I answer it, and there is this girl, who was about my age, who said, "Hi, Im Ronesha, yada yada yada".  She went on with this story how she lives in the inner-city and she has a 7 yr old daughter, and she is pregnant now (as they all seem to be) and how I am blessed to live in such a nice neighborhood and she hopes that one day she can move her family into a house like mine, and she is trying to get off of government assistance and all that...  She presented me with her little book and said that they are selling magazine subscriptions and she gets a percentage of the money, and the other part of the money goes towards a charity program and all that.  I asked her for a badge and she happen to forget it on this very particular day.  But I have a heart, I do.  So I told her I would buy $20 bucks worth of the ZooBooks (for the kiddos) and then I thought that if she was really scamming me, all she would be getting out of me is $20 bucks.  She went on to tell me that God is Great and asked me if I had any words of encouragement for her, etc..  So as she was about to leave, I look down the street and 2 cops pull up and right away arrest a guy who was doing the same thing she was 2 houses down.  I then was like "holy crap, I gotta stall her".  So I start stalling "Ronesha" and asking her what this company is, and how many people are doing the same thing she is, when she turns around and gets all nervous b/c the cops started to fly up the street to my house.  They jump out and right away put her in handcuffs RIGHT in front of me.  Kind of freaky if you ask me.  The cops got into her book, and she had about 20 something checks from people in the neighborhood INCLUDING cash.  I asked if I could get my check back and the cop gave me my check back as I ripped it up right in front of the girl.  Basically they didnt have a license to sale in Pittsford where we live and so they were basically illegal.  Now the company they were "supposedly" working for is a real company, its just kind of a rip off.  But like I said, I did it b/c I was only going to be out of $20 bucks and if I didnt, I was afraid that she would call up her  thug friends and they would come rob me or something.  HEY, you never know.  And that was our fun, eventful Saturday with the Turok version of COPS.  Good times, good times people.
