But since we can't, I'll simply wish you a happy new year!
city of New York lost a great one when you retired. I only wish I had supervisors like you during my time as a police officer. Instead I was subjected to being led by complete idiots like one sergeant who berated me because I did not try to fingerprint a car’s antenna that was snapped off in a minor act of vandalism
…but you’re right, he is a tremendous dude and a lot of fun.
point? Was his name Obie?
And that's what we did, sat in the back of the patrol car and drove to the
Quote Scene of the Crime unquote. I want tell you about the town of
Stockbridge, Massachusets, where this happened here, they got three stop
Signs, two police officers, and one police car, but when we got to the
Scene of the Crime there was five police officers and three police cars,
Being the biggest crime of the last fifty years, and everybody wanted to
Get in the newspaper story about it. And they was using up all kinds of
Cop equipment that they had hanging around the police officer's station.
They was taking plaster tire tracks, foot prints, dog smelling prints, and
They took twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles
And arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each
One was to be used as evidence against us. Took pictures of the approach,
The getaway, the northwest corner the southwest corner and that's not to
Mention the aerial photography.
"Kid, whad'ya get?" I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay
$50 and pick up the garbage." He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?"
And I said, "Littering." And they all moved away from me on the bench
There, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I
Said, "And creating a nuisance." And they all came back, shook my hand,
And we had a great time on the bench
The next time somebody shoplifted a pack of chewing gum I would've run out a gaudy display of crime scene tape when that sergeant was working.
And the kind words are very appreciated.
led him to issuing a counseling form and/or trying to suspend me (which he did at a later time for complete bs). I couldn’t stand him or most of the supervisors in our department. About the only decent one was an ex Marine who was fantastic. Short story. I was working in Columbia, MD which was the first ‘planned community’ to which we referred to as the Land of Oz. Routinely residents there would tell us on traffic stops that we didn’t have the authority to pull them over because only the ‘Columbia police’ could do that. Slight issue-there was no such police department.
One day, I was dealing with an idiot who was screaming at people as they walked by and some of them felt threatened and called us. During my conversation with him he was very belligerent and I told him that no one would have called us if he stopped acting like an asshole. At that point he started screaming like a mad wolf and screamed ‘I want to talk to your supervisor RIGHT NOW!!!’. Fortunately for me my Sergeant during that time was the ex Marine and I radioed him that he was needed. He arrived and the person of course told him that I called him an asshole. After about a 30 second conversation he told the guy’You know why my officer called you an asshole?’ Without waiting for a reply he said to him ‘Because you are an asshole’, he thenturned around and got back into his cruiser and drove off. The look on the dumbass’s face was priceless.
Unfortunately for me I was reassigned later when a new class of recruits came aboard and then I was under the supervision of a sergeant who had little to no intelligence and police knowledge
