#4 Heh, that's where I lived - and I can guess where this happened.
BTW, the "cops" come in multiple flavors there, because of Aramco being nearby. You got your Tribe A (local city police), your Tribe B (Army / Emergency Forces), and your Tribe C (National Guard). And no, that's not a joke - each force is predominantly staffed by myns from a certain Tribe - and each has loyalty to either the al Sudairis (Nayef, Turki, et al) or al Shammaris (Kingy Thingy Abdullah). Within each force, they look alike. A LOT alike, lol. One of 'em, the Nat Guard guys, IIRC, seemingly all have an extremely hawkish-looking face - sharp aquiline noses and beady eyes, lol.
But when there's something going down, you end up with each force putting up its own checkpoints / traffic roadblocks - I used to go through 4 or 5 on the short trip home from Aramco when something was up - a Royal coming to town or some recent bombing or whatever.
I'll wager this stop was done by the Nat Guard guys. They were the most aggressive and most arrogant. The kid with the sticker was certainly asking for trouble - âI Have Your Sister With Meâ is waaay over the local line.
I'll also bet his Daddy is some sort of Aramco hotshot, else he wouldn't have done it in the first place or had the stones to argue. Lol. I'll bet he'll be grounded and limited to the Camp (Little America) for a few weeks. |
