Cops

I live in a small northern NJ town. NJ is big on small towns. 

We have cops. Goodness knows why. Outside of fender-benders (which require absolutely no cops), things are a dead zone here. 

So are the brains in these "cops".

There is apparently some sort of promotion chain and we have detectives, too. 

As I understand things, in a small town, detectives sit behind some crappy desk for 20 years and retire at our expense without having had to do anything. 

No wonder my taxes are so poorly spent.
