A Day in the Life of a FE Pusher

[gordon112]

I am guessing this is either Flint or Detroit area. I have heard that some cops are designated to certain streets and have become the watch dogs to some degree. I would say some are just pricks from the get go.

Flint was ranked the most violent based on crimes per capita nationwide. Sad story.

However, this could be in any area that has recently witnessed an uptick in crime.

If I lived somewhere I had to work streets like that I would move.

I starred working a new area I had never worked before about 2 weeks ago. I did write two or three policies on 22nd street, which is a mix of well kept older, smaller homes and run down unkept yards with a few boarded up houses as well.

Last Thursday I was finishing up at around 7:30. I left my last appointment and drove a couple of blocks away and pulled over on the side of the street to find a hotel to spend the night in. I noticed two black guys walking past the truck and looking at me. They then turned around and started coming back to me so I pulled away. I took a quick left and my gps told me to turn again in 250 feet. I then put on my blinker and noticed a State cop was headed towards me. When I turned he turned in behind me and pulled me over.

HIs first words were what are you doing here and I told him I was selling insurance. He replied these people had no money so what was I really doing in that neighborhood. I picked up 3 or 4 files with checks and stated that "evidently they do". He then asked for my license etc. The other cop was on the other side of the truck looking in and saw my open briefcase and stated, over the top of the truck in a quiet voice, to the cop talking to me that, "this player has a yoyo"!

(I always have a yoyo with me to do tricks for kids who won't let us alone while conducting business.)

Both cops went back to the patrol car and after 15 minutes came back. He handed me a ticket for no seat belt and then stated he wanted to search my car. He then suggested I get my yoyo and do some tricks for his partner while he searched the truck.

So I go back to their car and start doing some pretty good tricks and we had about 15 black people and a cop watching me. The other cop was done searching the car and I did a few more tricks for him and I ended with a trick called the motorcycle. So I told them it was called the motorcycle cop and they were pretty impressed.

They tore up my ticket and let me go. They did tell me to watch my back as that area was one of the third worst townships in the country.

The next morning I had an appointment on the same street. When I got there my client told me that three doors down two people had been killed the night before.

What is the city and state that you arein?

He was looking for a hotel. He goes there on purpose.

Gordon, your real close. it was Saginaw.

I just had a feeling if I let them search my car they would let me go, providing of course they didn't find my stash!

So your saying you are better than the cops when it comes to hiding your stash...The question is what is your stash

Don't worry Carolina, you don't have to sell in Detroit. Just try to end your days a little earlier and the thugs from N.C. will still be in bed.

Saginaw is one of the best FE areas in the State, we also have the highest persistency there.

And Saginaw is not Detroit. Saginaw is on the South Bay by the thumb in Michigan.

Don't be picking on the D. We Michiganders are a Tough breed.

This fits Alaska as well! My dad moved to Vegas years ago, and when someone asks him why he picked Las Vegas, he says, "I strapped a snow shovel to my hood and drove South until someone asked me what it was, then I stopped." You don't have to shovel sunshine!
