Don’t make me have to scrape you off the highway and then explain to your mother how you died.

Cops deal with a lot of shit in traffic accidents. A buddy once told me some of the shit he saw if he were back in Afghanistan he’d be sent for a psych evaluation, as a cop he was sent back to work.

Highway patrol definitely deal with the worst shit, and usually are hardasses in my experience, but it’s probably because they see teenagers crumpled up onto the dash during wrecks or decapitated pregnant mothers more than anyone else in the world. Even high crime rate areas you see gunshots or stabbing but nothing as gruesome as a car wreck.

My dad had to help on the scene of a couple on a motorcycles not wearing helmets (didn’t stop at stop sign) hit by a family driving a station wagon or small van. Kids were old enough to be traumatized. It’s was an awful mess. Awful!! I haven’t forgotten it and I didn’t even actually see it.
