Somebody got me thinking about cops today. Not that I don't think about them everyday since I work with them, but I was thinking more about them today after reading something that's so full of the stereotype cop bullshit that I won't even bore myself repeating it. Maybe I take it too personally. My experience with cops has been, for the most part, good. That doesn't mean some of them aren't shitheels...I've known a few of those too. Overall, though, I've found law enforcement to be an under-appreciated and noble profession. My dad was a cop for most of my early childhood. He got out of it and went back to school. He had a partner named Jack. I don't remember much about him other than that he laughed a lot and was always nice to me. You can find him here. I work with honest, kind-hearted, straight-up decent people everyday who happen to be cops. I like them, I laugh with them, I cry with them, and I worry about them. It hasn't been very long since the last cop's funeral that I went to...so pardon me for not laughing at the fucking donut jokes.

I remember that case. I remember seeing that woman crying on the stand on the local news, and it just make my stomach twist to hear her trying to make herself out the victim. She killed someone through her own stupidity and she didn't think she deserved a punishment? that's pretty damn sick.

It's a damn shame that we don't pay our police better and give them more respsect. There are a lot of good cops out there. (Like the ones who came to get my PCP-freaking sister the night she tried to kill my mom.) Anyone who has the dedication to serve in such a demanding and dangerous way deserves it.

*7 of the escaped Texas convicts have been captured! Another killed himself in a standoff.*
