Local Blogger with a Badge
Categories: City of Concord Headlines
Written By: Mayor Concord California
I’ve been blogging for a while and if there is something that I was most misguided about in the past few months, it’s this. Local blogging is very hard work. You look at some of the other bloggers in the Concord area and you can see that some are updating 4-5 times a day.
It’s amazing really. I have another blog that covers social media and in that niche, other bloggers that do this for a living may post 2-3 times a week and that’s considered a lot. So my hat goes off to all of you that have a job and a family and still find the energy to keep the rest of us entertained and up to speed on our local world.
This brings me to my gem of the day. I came across a local blogger that just happens to be a motorcycle cop. He has a blog where he talks about his work and the people he gets to deal with. I guess I should have known that cops can have blogs. I just never read one before and this one just happens to be in our back yard. Make sure you bookmark MotorCop. He doesn’t post often but each post is amusing or enlightening to the life of a Deputy.
Some of my favorite posts are:
Ah, Stupidity…
In my very first Admin of Justice class at LMC, back in ‘90 thank you very much, my instructor, a local Sergeant at the time, told us the following:
“There are only two ways we catch the bad guys. We get lucky or they do something stupid.”
-So true!
His site posted some disclaimers.
DISCLAIMER #3:
If, by some glorious twist of fate, you stumbled across this blog and you happen to be someone I stopped and cited, this is what I really wanted to say, “Holy shit, I can’t believe you just (insert violation here). You suck at driving. Sign the fucking ticket and I’ll see you in court…can you make it a Monday, though? That way I’ll get paid overtime to screw you twice! MUAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA” At which point, in a perfect world, fire would come out of the tailpipe of my Harley as I speed away to violate someone else’s civil rights.
Most of his stories are filled with his daily patrols, sarcastic remarks and things he would love to say to people he stops.
…I found a phone number for the 16 year old girl. I called her and guess what? Not a fucking clue who my moron driver is. Although, she did throw in the interesting fact that she was currently standing next to a police officer in a neighboring city and reporting an auto burglary. Ah, irony, you fickle mistress.
Another great local blogger to check out.

How do you know where this guy is from? His site makes no mention of where he works.

It’s not obvious where he works and I am sure he does this on purpose. But if you read all of his posts, you will see the connection to the East Bay. That’s how I can to the conclusion.

I checked out his blog. Very cool. He’s not PC at all, which is very nice. I will be checking out his site on a regular basis.

Great find. It’s nice to see that cops have a sense of humor. It must be therapeutic to come home after a day on the streets and be able to vent online like this.

It would suck if he had to take the blog down. Its nice to see a point of view from the other side of the badge.
