Almost Said No

Daily writing prompt

What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?

“Didn’t really feel the prompt today so I am going down this rabbit hole instead.”

This was the beginning of the post I was starting when it hit me like a freight train doing 80. In a altered minds kind of way, it might maybe be alright, A round about way of getting to the answer today.

[Sometime back in the early 90’s] A meeting was held at the clubhouse one night about this perv stalking one of my brothers daughters after school. This wasn’t some teenage kid but a guy in his late twenties and scaring the shit out of her. So after hashing out all of the bullshit and anger, nine of us jumped into a van and went to a bar this guy was known to hang out at.

After hanging around there for a couple of hours, he never showed so we decide to go visit him at his house. We had a couple of guys out back in case he tried to escape that way. As we were ready to storm the house a squad car cruised by and we quickly caught their attention so we packed into the van and hightailed it. About three blocks away we were pulled over.

It was late at night and we were all pulled out of the van and sat on the curb while two cops searched the van. They found over a dozen pistols and were questioning the only one of us that was holding a personal carry permit. Now picture this, eight bikers wearing patches sitting on the curb and one telling the police that all the pistols were his.

We had two other police officers behind us and one was a female who just happened to be behind me. I was catching a buzz and being the smart-ass I am looked at her and started singing the COPS theme. She cracked up and the mood turned friendly.

Best image I could get today, guaranteed we didn’t look that crisp and clean lol.

Since technically no laws had been broken, [all the pistols were legal], they had to cut us loose and the party we had back at the clubhouse after that was fun to say the least. The whole night was a riot and turned out great compared to what it could have been if the police hadn’t driven by that night.

So yeah, the show I have watched more than five times would be COPS.
