    I'm not old enough to remember the return of our soldiers from Vietnam but this reminds me a lot of that. I'm so pissed at the utter disrespect toward law enforcement.

    I receive so much support from people when I'm in uniform. It's so.very humbling. I just don't understand how the same people can turn their backs on the very law enforcement officers that protect their neighborhoods. It makes me sick.

    I think instead of fighting the idiots that are shitting on LEO's we should spend our energy supporting them every chance we get.

    Extremely short story time:

    I just got done doing an overnight ride-along for fun (and yes I went to court for fun the previous day too).

    Approximately at 0030 hrs, we conducted a traffic stop and the driver pulled into a local McDonalds. Shortly, a cover officer arrived on scene to join us. Right before the conclusion of our business with the driver, the shift manager for the McDs walks out to the parking lot to greet us and asks us to come inside when because "she takes care of her people." We parked the squads and took a brief brake inside the restaurant. I ordered some dinner and the manager would not let me pay even though I explicitly mentioned I was not an officer and I offered to pay. I didn't feel like taking credit for something I wasn't. But she had none of it and would not let me pay in support of her local officers. Frankly, I was moved and humbled.

    PS CMPD Uni City night shift is a great group of guys and gals, very professional. I am proud to have ridden with them.

    My old agency. CMPD is a squared away dept. with good training and tech. The current chief was in the academy class before mine and we worked the same
    District for my first couple of years on the job. He was a very good officer.

    Glad they took care of you.

    I did venture out to a Hurricanes game a couple years ago with my squad and our kids and spouses. Biggest fucking mistake I made was thinking it was going to be a "family friendly" atmosphere. Second biggest mistake was thinking that, as a LEO carrying under LEOSA, I'd be able to get in. Nope.

    Fuck them. They wont be getting any of my coin.
    I'm not a big sports fan, but I've enjoyed going to minor-league baseball games, especially when I was travelling for work. Nice relaxed atmosphere, small stadiums, and a lot less expensive than the majors.

    Another reason why Chiefs should lead from the front and wear their uniform when in public...

    After spending about 1-3 weeks cumulative every year in Spokompton for work I think some germs from King County have begun to take hold. I like the way downtown is getting some new life and eats, but I'm not sure about how local politics is rolling.

    I'm putting together a ballot initiative for Washington State to secede from King County.
