Police Officers Our Friends?

Police Officers Our Friends? Have any police officers been important in you life or a curse? Thinking back across my 75 years to recall the very first time a police officer was in my life I recalled my first two involvements were not pleasant and I caused the problem both times. Around Halloween in 1958 when I was 14 was the first time.  I was trying to make friends hanging out with a couple of Milt Love's friends away from his backyard ice rink that also was a football field and baseball diamond often on the weekends or during Summers when we were out of school. The guys I met through our games of hockey, football or baseball all played on organized teams that I didn't except for softball one summer, the summer my parents did not travel for 2 to 3 weeks in August.
