Being almost a 5 year veteran of these FR police threads, I like to have a little fun.
Sometimes I'll throw comments like that out just to get a reaction from people. Sometimes I take different sides, instead of taking the police side, I'll take the other.
Just for kicks. I don't take these threads too seriously and sometimes I like to see how venomous people here will get, let their agenda come out.
Here's a few excerpts from a letter I got from the Chief of Police in '02. (If I may be so selfserving)
'you are aggressive in dealing with the problems of our neighborhoods, yet you treat everyone, inlucding your colleagues and the public, with respect. I have personally observed your compassion for those less fortunate. You use your status as a seasoned veteran to provide quiet leadership-you lead by example. '
Theres some more but I'm too embarrassed to write it.
