> I agree .. most people have no clue. I tell people .. go watch (and study) a few hundred episodes of COPS .. and then .. just maybe you’ll understand a little about what’s really going on.
I found out I’d much rather work in an investigative capacity than patrol. Nowadays you do have to arm up like a soldier to deal with the thugs. Hell they make a big deal about what cops are carrying these days but if they took a look at the drug dealer’s arsenals they’d crap themselves. And don’t tell me they couldn’t get them if they outlawed guns because many of their weapons are stolen but I’m sure Jarrett would love it if we laid ours down while their kind and their bodyguards are pack’in. Never ever give up your guns.
I've seen these guys armed to the hilt while eating lunch in the suburbs. That tells you who really is about to crap themselves. If you're scared, get a different job.
Yeah, I agree. Putting clues together is very interesting.
On cable is a network - IDHD - where they have a program called “Homicide Hunter”. It’s a true program - in that the real homicide investigator tells the stories of his career as an investigator. It’s really fascinating.
