Oh, I realize that, I guess I was really kinda wishing that he DID work for me, so I could make his a$$ miserable every night. Because he really doesn't seem to have the stones for the job.
Don, if you think that I really let people get to me, well that is kinda sad. Let me try and explain it to you. The reality is, I don't drink and to blow off steam I do three things. I spend time with people important to me. I exercise, and I come here to say things anonymously that I CAN'T say in REAL life, because of the very reason you think I shouldn't do it here. I have the utmost respect for the profession in which I am dedicated to. In real life, I know that I have to treat even the most deplorable people with respect, because that's what this country is based on. While I can determine probable cause that someone committed a crime, it isn't up to me to treat them in a fashion where I have already condemned them. I CAN'T abuse the authority entrusted to me by calling people names, or doing anything else that would bring discredit to my agency. (Notice I didn't say my authority. That's because it isn't mine, it's the people and they are just letting me borrow it.)
So my vice is coming on here and arguing with people. It makes me laugh. Sometimes, in the heat of things, I might call someone a name, I might even think they are jerks. But when this computer is turned off, I don't give anything written or read on here a second thought.
So Don, I appreciate the fact that you want me to behave a little better, but I am sorry I can't. I promise you however, when I put my badge on, and walk out the door, I conduct myself in a manner which would suit you fine!
