A rookie police officer was out for his first ride in a cruiser with an experienced partner.
A call came in telling them to disperse some people who were loitering.
The officers drove to the street and observed a crowd standing around a corner.
The rookie rolled down his window and said roughly, “Let’s get off the corner, people!”
A few glances, but no one moved, so he barked again, “Let’s get off that corner… NOW!”
Intimidated, the group of people began to leave, casting puzzled stares in his direction.
Proud of his first official act, the young policeman turned to his partner and asked, “Well, how did I do?”
“Pretty good,” grinned the veteran policeman, “especially since this is a bus stop!”
