Over the last 19 yrs., we have had plenty of cops squander the good public sympathy that has come about from the blood spilled of our fallen brothers and sisters. Now, we just look like a bunch of bums who dont know how to police the streets. Dont embarrass their memory or yourselves.

I agree 100% with you Rack. I’ve stood shoulder to shoulder with men and women who have either died from COVID-19, 9/11 illnesses, or violently at the end of some skell’s gun.

We’ve all gone to a local watering hole and pissed in each other’s ears about the pitfalls and problems the job has laid out for us, much in the same language the idiot used on the microphone. The BIG DIFFERENCE it was done on our own time and not in uniform. We’ve all earned the right to curse like sailors on leave. You can’t keep all that hostility, depression and anger bottled up, it’s not healthy, BUT there’s a time and a place for everything.

I was mostly in plain clothes for 2/3rds of my career. I’ve had some ‘colorful’ exchanges over the years with your generic street urchins, haven’t we all. When I put that uniform for a detail etc, I was all business.That’s the same uniform I had to wear when attending too many funerals of our fallen. I would never disgrace something I hold sacred. Their memories mean too much to me.

The two officers will take their medicine for that huge brain fart. Was it an excessive punishment? No worse than dying in that uniform protecting your fellow man from evil.
