People in my community are ignoring the dark brown, obvious, hair roots in nearly every photo of me and they’ve managed to spread a rumor that there are two of me. There aren’t. There is a bitter, short, adult male that is six years older than me and is trying to say he dated a prettier copy of me that doesn’t exist. I dated this guy for about three months, when he was a security guard. He is now a police officer in my home town, where he never lived or attended school. Apparently, he wanted to impress other guys, or protect his ego by saying he dated someone who looked like me; someone prettier who just had the same name.

My dna hasn’t changed. My fingerprints on file with dmv haven’t changed. My fingerprints on file with DOJ for job site clearance have never changed. Neither has my thumb print on my exams that I had to pass in order to work in my career field.

Regardless, I still am being put through hell since dumping him. Why did I dump him? He put my dog in a headlock in 2013, and tried to claim she attacked him. She was a puppy. I dumped him after he said, “I’m sorry for whatever you think you saw.” His daughter was the one that yelled at him to stop choking my dog. He told her to be quiet. Did we both see something? Oh, and apparently all custody of her went to her mom. The last time I saw her, she was running around a local pizza place in tattered clothes, and he wasn’t anywhere in sight. Maybe it just wasn’t his custody day? I didn’t see her mom there either, though. I really hope he didn’t let her go to foster care when he lost his security guard job.

      I don’t think all cops are trash, but if someone puts another person’s puppy in a head lock and then denies it, because he knows he did something wrong, then he doesn’t deserve to be a cop. Want to be a cop? Just get fired as a security guard after working at a place that pays you to guard crates of raisins. Crates. Of. Raisins. You want to know why he was fired? Probably because he had so many arguments with his coworker who didn’t speak much English (his coworker supposedly claimed to only speak an Asian language fluently) Every story was about that guy he couldn’t stand. The guy would act like he couldn’t understand my ex and refuse to talk to him. Maybe he just didn’t want to talk to someone that does things he shouldn’t and then denies it.

        I’m sorry for whatever you think you saw

        Is a pretty common attitude for people who become police officers. So, they’re probably not all trash, but there are enough of them like that for it to be a common sentiment.
