"I’m trying to maintain my cool while dealing with the public. My job is to keep people from parking on this block without a permit. Earlier these two detectives tried to park, and I told them that it wasn’t allowed. Then one of them tried to pull out his badge, like that’s going to mean something to me. I said: ‘Are you trying to tell me that detectives get to break the law?’ We got into it for a few minutes. Then he asked for my boss. Then he got into it with my boss for a few minutes. Then he found somewhere else to park."
