Front row,,,,,, I didn't understand when my grandfather would say the end is coming, when my dad said the end was coming I laughed, when I told my kid to prepare for the end. I didn't think I would be living to see it.,,,,,,

Quote HistoryQuoted: Same attitude towards Law Enforcement in the 60s. Shit ebbs and flows.

It is a pendulum; society wants a loosing of proactive law enforcement since everyone says LE is to aggressive and hard. LE backs down and crime goes up. LE becomes reactive and less aggressive. Society then wants safe streets agains and less crime. LE becomes aggressive again and proactive. Crime goes down but LE has a heavy hand. |

They want a bunch of wand wavers that run around waving magic wands and make bad things go away painlessly. |

Back when I retired, I was not ready to, it hurt, I missed it. Today, my buddies coming up for retirement CANNOT WAIT to get out of there. Morale is bad and I am afraid it sometimes turns journeymen into slugs. I am glad I got out when I did.

Yup.... they want Cops to be everything but Cops. Marriage counselors, psychologist, garbage men, AAA road side, EMS, etc.... but actually do police work.... LOL That's why I was considering opening 'Bubba's Alligator Farm' as a retirement gig.
