Here 'ya go, Ras...a few tidbits for you to pick on me over this weekend...

So I worked day shift Wednesday and Thursday. It's been a long month; I ended up pulling 7 shifts this month to cover shortages. I usually do 2-3 a month. I'm tired, and took today off to recover and get ready to go back to Job #1 on Monday.

Anyhoo, a few examples of "The Adventures of a Dirt Road Deputy":

- I made a stop for Speeding (87/70). Nice guy from New Hampshire. He's a maple syrup salesman, and he's been down in Florida hawking his product. "100% Organic Maple Syrup", whatever that is. But my better half is a borderline tree-hugger (who lets me buy guns, you figure that one out). So I lower his speed to 81, as I normally do; he signs; I give him his copy; and then buy a jar of maple syrup from him. He was actually laughing when it was all over. Wife got pretty excited about the syrup.
- Responded to a Cardiac Red call with Fire/EMS. Way out in the country. Those almost never end well, and unfortunately this one didn't either. But the Squad transports, and the firefighter rides with the squad so they can tag-team CPR for the long ride to the hospital, so now here I sit with a fire engine on the side of the road. With the EMS Lt's consent, I drive the pumper back to the station, park it in the bay, and secure the station. Another deputy picks me up and takes me back to my ride. Back when I was FT, I made all of my team train on how to drive a pumper / squad, and run the pre-connects on the pumper so that the first firefighter on scene could gear up and attack the fire. It paid off here, in a small way. The crew from the hub station that moved to fill the gap couldn't believe I knew how to drive the pumper. There are a lot of switches and knobs to move to make one of those things do what you want it to do. Glad I could remember how.
- 911 misdial, again, way out in BFE. The residence sits back in the woods off a "two-path", off of a dirt road. I get there, and Grandma explains that the baby got hold of the phone while she was trying to get something up on Netflix for the baby to watch. But the funny part is the chicken. When I get out of my Tahoe, this insanely fat chicken trots up to me like some sort of guard dog. Follows me to the house; up on the porch, and just stands there staring at me while I'm talking to Grandma. Then it follows me back out to the truck, and trots halfway down the drive behind me while I'm making my way out. Just one of those things that make you chuckle. I sure hope she doesn't end up cooking that chicken; it had a lot of character.
- Hogs on the side of the Interstate. There's this one spot where they come through the fence and root around off the side of the road. One gets hit maybe once a year. They understand that road = death. But we get a number of 911 calls from passing motorists when they come out to forage. Yesterday, the 911 Center got a call reporting "tiny cows" on the side of the road. Tiny cows. Folks, I don't care where you're from, if you can't tell the difference between a feral hog and a cow...

That's about it for this episode. Y'all be safe out there.

This is the stuff cops do that never makes videos or headlines. Not heard often enough.

I worked with a gang member out of East Chicago. He gave me a ride home past fields full of cows. He said what is that..i said a cow. " that's an actual cow?" Yes Rob, they exist, you should milk one. His face said it all. He'd only ever seen pictures in books. Never ventured outside gangland near Chicago.
We had many discussions over the mentality behind gangs. I learned allot from him. Hopefully he took what we discussed to heart. He was one of the oldest in his gang don't recall his actual age but he was around 25. He would come in looking rough and beat up 3 days a week. Then i was thankful for my country bible raised upbringing. Last i heard he and his wife and 2 small children were still in east Chicago.
Never underestimate the power of a guard chicken. We had workman who wouldn't get out of the truck because of our rooster felt full of himself one day. My dad was laughing so hard he was crying.

It all depends on what you look like and what you drive. If you're missing a tooth or two and you're driving a 97 Camry you're screwed. If you're well dressed and driving an expensive car, you're screwed. I think cops pigeon hole people into 2 categories, no money and probably guilty of something or plenty of money lets rape his ass.

I've only been asked about guns once and yes I did have one and it was loaded, cop was cool about it even though there wasn't such a thing as CC then. I've never been asked about drugs but I'm a white guy.

Last time I was pulled over it was buy a 20something Barney and he decided to lecture me. I told him to shut it and write the ticket.

I dont bash cops. Have posted here before that I have been greatly mistreated...but also showed grace more than once as a teen and early 20s idiot who could have been taken to jail. Generally the older the cop, the better they know how to treat people. That's people in general too though...not unique to LEOs.

I will say this though: in regards to the roided out cops:

Should never be allowed to happen. I take test now and if not careful it can make me very aggressive. Have taken anabolics too...and roid rage is VERY REAL. It is just as real as women getting PMS...and caused by exactly the same thing. Hormones.

No cop or detention officer that deals with the public should ever be allowed to be on steroids. Super aggressive, combative, violent...terrible idea for someone with a badge and a gun. Terrible. Idea.

So she's lying because why? Are you surprised a POS raised a kid who makes poor decisions?

What evidence do we have he did what she said? A review of her twitter would make me more suspicious of her. Especially since she hates all cops, not just her dad.

Pretty easy to see why anyone would dislike her though.

You can look at it however you want, I'm not here to say anybody is lying or telling the truth, but the mere fact that his own daughter would say this about him, true or false, is enough to know the guy is probably ****ed up. What good person has a daughter that talks about them like that in a public forum? I'll play the odds here. She probably hates all cops because she hates her Dad, not vice versa, LOL.

This is mind boggling

“The Orange County Sheriff’s Department in 2018 undertook a pair of evidence audits. The first one looked at almost 99,000 police reports over a two-year period. It showed evidence in 30 percent of the reports was mishandled in some way, and the department did not retain evidence in nearly 72,000 cases. The Sacramento Bee on Wednesday obtained a copy of the department’s secondary audit — handed to sheriff’s brass in February but not disclosed to district attorney’s officials until last week. The internal audit randomly sampled 450 reports out of the nearly 72,000 cases flagged in the first report. Of those, deputies filed 121 reports stating they collected and booked evidence. The auditor’s findings: no evidence was booked in nearly half of the sampled reports — 57 — in which deputies said they had, or about 13 percent of the 450 cases reviewed, according to the audit. Sanders’ projection that 9,000 cases were mishandled over two years stems from the numbers in the second audit.”
