I think I read yesterday that he was in uniform.

It’s a percentage Sir. There is always a very small percentage of rotten pickles in every barrel. As more barrels of pickles are needed the percentage stays the same, but the rotten pickles increase in number. Profession aside, this happens with all groups when they increase in population.

If that’s correct, it just compounds the tragedy.

How in the hell could any responding crew just open fire on a uniformed security guard? I could see if the crew was from an adjacent district and didn’t know the area or people. Even then unless the guy was not responding to verbal commands from the officers there should have been an opportunity to figure it out prior to shooting the guy.

Unfortunately, your analogy of the profession is correct. I am glad my service is behind me. The job today is just that, a job. Just another line on a resume’ that leads to another job. Couple that with the change in the promotional structure and it’s a wonder there aren’t more incidents.
