We have some members here from Fort Worth PD. Sounds like one of ours to me......

When I go to Ft Worth I always come away with a good feeling for the place. Some really nice folks there.

He must be some kind of slacker, that or he already filled his quota of four dogs and three hippies for the morning, and was just looking for something to do. |

Uhhh, because he's proud of where he lives and wants to keep it beautiful?? Way to go, FWPD!! Bike officers are known to do lots of nice things. |

That is what I have noticed as well. At least in FW (I've never met any other city's bike cops). And I hope the other poster is correct - it would be neat if it was an arfcommer. |

I'd like to think he put his badge away for a minute and picked up that trash as a common citizen doing a good deed. Cops are regular people like anyone else. You've got assh*les and angels in every group. This guy sounds like a stand-up, class act to me. Most of us could learn something from him.
No, I'm not a cop, and I HATE getting speeding tickets! BBURN |

I'd like to point out that I was only making a joke... I rather like police officers...
I'm only poking fun at a trained man in a uniform picking up trash... and please don't give me any crap about garbage men having uniforms... you know what I mean.  - BG |

There are studies showing that trash on the street/sidewalk correlates to crime.
I notice it when I bike thru bad neighborhoods--lots more broken glass and tash on the street and sidewalk. I guess people on welfare don't have time to pick up litter in front of their houses. GunLvr |

If you know what station patrols that area and call whoever runs it and tell them. They might not know who it was, but they'll still like to hear about it. Cops rarely get to hear "Somebody in your uniform did a good job today" [joke]since they're so often shootin' dogs and stuff.[/joke]

What you observed was probably a punishment being carried out. He didn't make his quota for dogs last month now he's gotta clean up trash.

One time i was walking through this parking lot and I saw a Tulsa police officer snort some white substance up his shnoz while sitting in his patrol car...when he saw me he fliped on his lights and peeled out of there!
Just being fair and balanced...

Very true, it's called the "Broken Windows Theory" it says that: 1) Neighborhood disorder creates fear. Areas with street people, youth gangs, prostitutuion, and drunks are high-crime areas. 2) Just as broken windows are a signal that nobody cares and can lead to more serious vandalism, untended disorderly behavior is a signal that the community doesn't care, thus leading to more serious disorder and crime. 3) If the police are to deal with disorder and thus reduce fear and crime, they must rely on citizens for assistance as well as using their actions to set the example. |

many years ago when my father was alive (i think he ws in his late 80's at this time) he pulled out of his driveway and got a flat tire. now, dad was not on the big side, maybe 5 foot 3 at best and 110 lbs. he was standing by the rear of the car where the flat was, just looking. there is no way he could change it. along came princeton's finest. stopped and asked my father if he was alright. dad laughed and said the old line, well i have a flat but it is only flat on one side. ever the joker that he was. cop got out of his car and changed the tire for him.
i have had my run ins with the locals but not to the extent i read about here on ar15.com. dad has been gone now 13 years and i still miss him. be well maxwell |

The only thing I've seen Officer WAVE pick up is out of town chicks from the pictures that get posted.

No, I didn't. I called the station and reported it. They said, "thank you for letting us know." |

Because he is a little "slow" and he heard a fellow cop say that he was "cleanin' up the streets and takin' out the trash" and figured he would just emulate that.

Why couldnt he have found a homeless person to make do it? "You filthy fucking hobo, get over there and pick up that trash before I split your head!" How hard is that?

Broken windows theory. Cop was obviously well trained in the aspect of community based policing.
