In an age when someone can ignore flashing lights/siren behind them, fail to produce a driver's license, slap a cop's hand, jump out of a car when told to say put and refuse to follow orders and then file a complain on how they were treated AND get all kinds of sympathy, I give extra credit to those strong enough to be in law enforcement. Sure there are cops who use excessive force or discriminate but they're the minority and partially a result of this flawed system. But why as soon as there are allegations does everyone point fingers at the officers? There was an opinion piece in yesterday's paper pointing out that good old fashioned respect & law-following might have alleviated the situation. Whole thing pisses me off.In other news.... Tyler is going to take his game to the ring. That is, he's going to put these months of training, dieting and hard-work on display. Nov. 8, at the Val Air Ballroom, he'll be fighting in a pro Muay Thai exhibition, RoundKick Rumble 13. He's worked really hard, his coach says he's ready and he's continuing to train hard. And so I'll be biting my nails and screaming my lungs out. Holler if you want to come see him! Also, we're working on his fighter persona... nicknames & theme song suggestions are being sought! Think hard so he doesn't have to be Tyler "The kitten" Tompkins with the theme song "It's raining men." :)
In other random news.... I HATE DEALING WITH CAR INSURANCE PEOPLE. I just want my FJ fixed!!!!! and I want her fixed NOW.

in response to the first part of your post-people are morons. morons, morons, morons. and the fact that people like tyler have to risk themselves to protect them makes me madder than heck and proud as hell at the same time.
second part of the post-i'll be there biting my nails and screaming, but that'll probably be because i don't know what's going on...:D
love you both!
Hey i wouldnt miss his fight for anything. Just let me know as soon as tixs go on sale.
I saw Yepsens column and thought it was pretty good, im glad he wrote it, originally the story was all their side of the story how they were being profiled. Yepsen helped alittle. not enough but it helped.
