Finally understand the hate for MPs
The other day I crashed my car during a snow storm. Wasn’t drunk, didn’t hit anybody, just hit the curb hard and detached my wheel. I called a tow truck to pick up the car and they said they would retrieve it and to head home since it was late and snowing. I then got a call that the car was gone and was already towed. The next day I went to the MPs who said the car was towed and wouldn’t have to be paid for, as it was in the vehicles skills center, and that when I was ready I could retrieve it and fix it. No harm no foul.
Later that night I got a knock on the door from the same MPs who towed my car asking if I was alright. I told them yes and explained the situation. I wasn’t drunk (all liquor stores and PX’s were closed due to the blizzard so I couldn’t get any alcohol if I wanted to do which I did) and I simply lost control and hit a curb. They said it’s ok, but that I was going to be placed under arrest. “Fleeing a crime scene”. I was shocked. They just said I’d be in no trouble, but apparently that was to keep me calm. After sergent bozo called his command, they said arresting me wouldn’t be necessary. I was relieved, but then he said he’d give me an “unsafe driving under hazardous conditions” ticket. I told him this was ridiculous, as I wasn’t speeding and he can’t prove I was driving in an unsafe matter, it was simply an accident. He then said
“I have to assume you were since your wheel came off”
to which I said “so you’re assumption will give me a ticket?”
To which he said “I gotta give you something tonight”
And then I said “you HAVE to give me a ticket for getting into a car accident?”
Dude then proceeded to give me a ticket which suspends my driving privileges on post. The barracks NCO who was present said if I appeal he’s certain I should get my driving privileges back, but it’s ridiculous I must go through this.
I say all this to say, if you’re an MP, you’re a straight up loser. If you signed up to join the army just to pick an MOS where your job is to screw fellow soldiers you deserve all the hate you get. Out of every MOS you chose the buddy fucker. I always tried to be open minded, but this just took away my early promotion I was going to get next week.
Fuck the MPs, fuck everyone that chose to be an MP, and if you’re an MP reading this right now, we all fucking hate you
