Soar....Your my hero, a true knight in shining armor. If your done patting yourself on the back read further.
I don't know where you were pigging, but the oinkers here average anywhere from $60 to $80k a year after ot and details with many making well over 100k.
And the reason why so many cops crash en route is because of their holier than thou attitudes.....flying to calls expecting and thinking that everyone sees them, when in fact they don't. You are supposed to respond to calls in a prudent and safe manner, so what does that tell ya?
There are alot of cops responding to calls in an unsafe and reckless manner.
As far as what I did at the department, what do you think I did fool? I dressed in my blues and drove around all day, and unlike you, found VERY few occasions to make arrests. And I definately can look in the mirror. You see, I was Officer good guy and vowed when I took the job NOT to bother folks unless they had done something SERIOUSLY wrong. Maybe that's why I never did fit in......................
