The couple came in, both were deaf and unable to speak; they made that simple sign, along with showing me a pen and paper and making a writing motion.
I immediately knew what they meant; only a complete imbecile would not "get" that. But then, these are cops we are talking about. Lazy nitwits, prone to doing very little actual work, and wildly obsessed with the idea that they are being "disrespected." The latter trait has become more and more prevalent in our society in general, as for whatever reason we have lost the concept that one has to "earn" respect...it is not automatically conferred.
I am sick and tired of hearing about the dangers of their job; I grew up on a farm, and traveled hundreds of thousands of miles as a sales rep "on the road." Both of those jobs are more dangerous...and don't come with a fat pension...but you won't hear me whining like a little girl (and I actually AM a girl).

-Probably related to steroid abuse, something that’s become prevalent.
