There are a lot of dubious characters employed in law enforcement.
Tell me about it. Grrrr.
I know of one Marion County, IN, sherrif's deputy who, before he became a jailor, got messed up on vodka and prescription meds, broke into his ex-girlfriend's apartment, waited for her to come home, then attacked and tried to murder her when she came home.
She ended up kicking his ass and calling his mommy to pick him up.
The ex-girlfriend didn't press charges, so now that bottled-up psycho now wear a badge.
BTW, his ex-girlfriend is now my lover, my confessor, my partner in crime, and my most intimate friend. The last five years have been the best years of my life.
And don't worry, we have firearms (loaded) and bladed weapons stashed all over the house.
BTW, the "deputy" in question's grandfather came to the USA from Germany after WW2 - as a disgraced member of Hitler's SS.
I guess the sh*t apple doesn't fall far from the sh*t apple tree.
