I love the job, and the sense of nobility it gives...but as my old mentor Pat Rogers would say: "this job is a fickle prostitute..you may love her, but she will NEVER love you back". The longer I'm in this job, the more I dislike it, and the laziness of other cops pisses me off. They blame the job for the fact they shoot like shit, or overweight, etc. And they're the first ones to fuck you, to get where they wanna go. I don't roll like that, never have. Not to mention, in my 15th year of doing it; it feels like groundhog day. And i'm in a busy city! The fact that the line of morality is constantly moving these days, has propelled me to leave before my 25, and seek other employment outside of policing. I'm pretty sure I'll miss the circus, but I surely won't miss the clowns. I've worked with true blue street warriors, and got to accomplish a lot of what I thought at the time was important..which was collaring really bad dudes..but these days, that counts for nothing. I didn't go to coffee with a cop, so I guess I'll get passed over for that gig I wanted..ce la vie..
