At times I simply stare at this and remember how each rank I enjoyed came with such a huge amount of experiences (good and bad) that certainly helped to define who I am now. What a ride.
The best badge is my 9th one, the retirement badge. That one just makes me smile.
@TRLeVeque@PatsSteaks No relation friend. My real last name is Oliverio… it got messed up when my grandfather came through Ellis island from Italy back in 1923.
Yesterday, I finally picked up this shadow box…. It depicts all the badges I had worn in all of the different promotional positions that I was fortunate to be entrusted to serve in.
God bless the amazing work the Pomona PD is doing and all of the amazing people there.
@engineercpp16 @CBSLA Ok whatever, go to sleep now in your gated community and keep watching the news thinking you understand the worlds problems... while the rest of us are actually living in the real world and trying to solve real problems.
@alphanumerals@CBSLA I disagree wholeheartedly. I respect your view, but many of us dedicate our lives to serve and protect others, and do it very successfully.
@alphanumerals@CBSLA Don’t know anything about that. I was a cop in California for nearly 30 years and never shot and killed any one... but I helped a whole bunch. What was your point again?
@alphanumerals@CBSLA When the Deputies are clearly trying to maintain order, the best choice for all of us is to get away from them and not challenge them. If you think you are above the law and want to profess to them all of your street lawyer rights.... then good luck to ya.
