Example 1:
(Setting: Apartment complex in a rough part of town.)
Boyfriend: Hey
honey, it's about time for our zoo date you've been eagerly anticipating for months now. We'd better get a move on it.
Girlfriend: Good thinking, sweetie.
(couple exits apartment)
Girlfriend: Oh,
honey, look at all the pretty lights! The ghetto
bird is up again and the police are approaching our neighbor's door behind a bunker shield. Are they carrying a shotgun?
Boyfriend: Ugh. Worse yet, they've inconsiderately
parked behind my vehicle and copblocked us in! And it's probably not a good time to ask them to move their patrol cars. Guess it'll be another
Netflix night.
Example 2:
Dispatcher: We have a Priority
One hot call at the hospital. A buck naked, homicidal man is throwing stones at a
doctor in the northeast lot.
Rookie: Copy. Going Code
3.
Oldtimer: Hey Partner, I see the
guy! Stop the car!
(Rookie begins pulling into a parking spot in the northeast lot.)
Oldtimer: WTF. Where's your tactical driving skills?!
Rookie: I didn't want to inconvenience patrons who may need to leave.
Oldtimer: You've got a lot to learn, Rookie. We're Da Police. It's okay to copblock!
