skybytch 273 #33 April 9, 2002 I asked once. I'll ask again. PLEASE do not turn a thread about a now confirmed dead skydiver into an argument about police officers. Show some respect for a fellow jumper...If I see any more of this I'll lock the thread. pull & flare,lisa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrumpySmurf 0 #34 April 9, 2002 Cause they have to deal with the worst elements of our society on a daily basis. A person can only take and see so much before they see everyone as a prick punk who wants to kill them, sometimes they crack, does it excuse them, nope - but walk a mile in thier shoes before passing judgement -> My old man was undercover narcotics in Vancouver (mostly with heroin), and I will be the first to admit, he is one of the most messed up people you will ever meet - it's been a surprise to my family he didn't kill himself. I can tell ya, I don't envy them for thier line of work - the best advice he ever gave me was, "If you become a cop, I'll shoot you." (well, right after his teaching me, "Why you don't bring a knife to a gun fight."). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
