...thanks for the tip on the preview button...as to the autocensor...it's kinda like having Mama sittin' right beside you...

...I think it happened automatically...though I had it capitalized, the instant I hit submit, it changed it...it censors out of context...I wouldn't talk so ugly to a mod...well, prolly not...I wasn't 'cusing you...

...I didn't say heck, I said Gehenna...and it's not a curse word, it's the name of a real place...so there's no need to change it, thank you!

...those are the same guys who lie that they're too far away to back you up on a potentially bad call...and you pass them at the next intersection...they're just there for the paycheck and have no sense of calling nor duty...I actually had a sergeant over night shift tell HQ that the fight had broken up that they'd sent me to...when I passed him at the end of the service road(he was leaving)...I found about 50 indivs. from one bar and 30 from the next bar over mixing it up on the lot...had one guy pull a knife...raised my prosecutor to disarm him and someone behind me grabbed it...pulled my revolver and the knife disappeared...told everyone the wagons were on the way and everyone on the lot would go to jail when they arrived and the rats melted into the ratholes for another drink...my heroic sergeant, who'd never even gotten out of his car...checked in as being down for coffee...he never could look me in the eye again, for some reason...
...there's them you'd wade through Hell with...and them you wouldn't walk with in a parade...

...back in the when, it was more common for LEOs NOT to carry off duty than to do it...one thing I beat into my rookies' head...if I ever caught them without one...I'd make 'em pay...the responsibility you pin on with the badge doesn't punch a clock, and then, as said above, there's the personal safety factor...no excuse for a cop not to be armed anytime he's out, in my hard-headed opinion...sorry this guy didn't agree...
