Like a lot of other kids growing up, I used to play cops and robbers with my friends in Grand Prairie, Texas. It was some good harmless fun with the neighborhood kids where we would chase each other on our bikes and Green Machines and make our getaways or chase the bad guys and put them away in jail. I played a role on both sides of the law back then, but nowadays, I'm on the good side of the law and never want to be placed behind bars for anything.

I've always respected law enforcement. The men and women in blue (tan or black sometimes!) put their lives on the line each day they put the badge on and get behind the wheel of a patrol car or unmarked unit. They never know what their day is going to look like except to protect and serve the public and do their best to apprehend those that are breaking the law in some way.

Gregg County law enforcement has been doing just that, apprehending those who choose to be on the wrong side of the law - although not chasing them in a Green Machine I hope - unless it's a powerful Dodge Charger, Ford Explorer, Chevy Tahoe or another vehicle in their arsenal.
