Description

After a lovely meal at Barcelona on Friday evening, we pulled out of our parking spot here to go to the theater at Long Wharf. Backing up, my husband tapped the car behind him and turned to leave. Two New Haven police officers walking by stopped him and asked if he was going to check on the "damage" he caused to the other vehicle.

He got out of the car (he's white so he wasn't afraid he'd be shot) to see about the "damage," of which there was zero.

One of the punk cops told him he could have been arrested for leaving the scene of an accident. Knowing that any other response other than acquiescence could mean an evening ruined, my husband apologized.

The offending officer walked away, muttering, "Be careful, dude."

W.T.F? Have the police no better thing to worry about than bumpers touching? Bumpers were MADE for touching; hence, the term BUMPer.

I only wish I could have given that testosterone-driven piece of crap cop a piece of my mind.
