@AlwaysARookie One leather jacket could last a career instead of the tattered, overpriced garbage that's made now. I wish departments would go back to leather.
@Iamthechampion3@StuBishop_LPD@SocialismW The ORDER would be unconstitutional. Would you be OK with your other rights being trampled on for the sake of political pandering, such as your right which allows you to share an opinion on SM?
@AlwaysARookie There's a small number of people that if I feel don't like me, I'd have to reevaluate how I do the job. Admittedly though, as a Sgt, I want to be respected by my crew, if not liked.
Four of us had to wrestle a 16 year old into an ambulance who wanted nothing more than to die just to end years of mental illness. Why are pols not dedicated to fixing the mental health problem in this country? I say again, THIS is a REAL problem.
@AdamPlantinga Mine was a DUI arrest. When the car finally stopped, I realized I didn't know where I was and my back-up was looking for me. I had to run to the intersection to look at the street sign and of course, one was missing! I was only 100 feet away from the suspect, but still. π€¦πΌββοΈ
@ResponsePS It's a job that WAS who I was because I wanted to "change the world", be involved in everything & be the absolute best. Now, w 21 yrs on & a Sgt I'm less naive, done everything I care to. I do my best and hope to be a positive influence on new officers. I hope they are my legacy.
@jUsT_A_bIkE_cOp Similar situation with cars. I've seen some crashes where the occupants walk away without a scratch but you would swear , based on the destruction to the vehicle, they should be dead. Airbags are an underappreciated technology.
@FoodMindedMama @therealpackard@BjornIronsights@DadMidwaste I'm going off track here a bit. I'm all for listening to and respecting a person or group's perspective, but I genuinely wonder why the perspective is sometimes used to deflect from bad behavior and ignore actual problems.
