I really don't blame you. All cops outside of Metro areas or established cities in Missouri are local bumpkins* tasked with collecting tax revenue from outsiders. This is because all rural areas in the Midwest stagnated economically and socially 50+ years ago.

Metro and City cops are doing the same on a different scale. They tend to be high/drunk/running organized crime. So at least they're bootstrapping and living the American dream of working for themselves.

I think you mean "bumpkin" unless you are making a very odd accusation about the sexual proclivities of rural police.

You are correct, I meant bumpkin. I would blame autocorrect or swipe, but here we are.

It was worth the sensible chuckle in my opinion.
