For them it's "96"........
I have a good bud who was a McClennan County Deputy Sheriff a while back. On a late night call to a Honky-tonk out in the boonies, he came over the hill to see the fight was out in the middle of the road, a whole bunch of people. He steps out, alone, hollers "Drop your weapons!". They all stop, and then he hears: "Clank, thunk, clatter, bong, clinkety-clink, tap-tap, clunk"
Rural Texas deputy sheriffs have a reputation and a tradition to uphold. One riot - one Ranger.
He said time never was as protracted as that wait for backup. He is now an engineer. He has to tell burly foremen what to do and what to tear out and start all over. He brings authority, responsibility, and his oath to whatever job he does. A code to enforce.
Like some other fine professionals I know. Happy Thanksgiving to all who serve. God Bless You.
