Down here in the oil patch, the only “law” outside the city is the sheriff and state police. I imagine they must coordinate to provide some bit of protection. Down here the saying “when seconds count, help is minutes away” should be “an hour away” and be prepared to be on your own.

I broke down on a Saturday morning a couple of months ago on US-285 north of Roswell (radiator blew out) and called a tow truck. I waited close to an hour for one to get to me and in that time there was no state police or sheriff who passed in either direction.

Any dept worth a damn has 2 or 3 that keep it in business.

One is a lie detector - not the machine, but a guy who can ask you 100 questions and tell which 99 you answered truthfully. Regardless of rank this guy is the boss and be not the fool who pisses him off because he is the one who keeps the numbskulls alive.

The other is a boogerman so scary and smart and dirty that badboys piss ambergris when he arrives.

You better be as good as number 1 and as smart as 2 before putting your life in their hands - 95% of humanity isn’t that smart or good.

Give a fool a badge and a gun and he is still a fool, and no fool is as dangerous as a fool with a badge and a gun.

My prayers go out to the officers family. This is a pure case of poor training by the department.

“The other is a boogerman so scary”

Nope.... no way. Wouldn’t want that guy digging up my nose.

The booger? Sheesh he only goes after toughguy street morons who “ain’t afraid of no stinkin cops”.

The ones I knew could make Mike Tyson wet trouser.

The smiling friendly one is the reason I drive carefully and don’t even shoplift a paper clip.
