It felt like it...I was told to change my reports to say something else so that it would influence the crime stats....

I siad no more, and I left....

Gasp! They could be listening...

What if they gave you lots of money to be a bad cop. Oh never mind. I already know your answer. How boring.

Not likely.

Call everytime, no one ever did for me.
Actually he called them himself when he pulled the shotgun on me. In those days they took the guns out of the house but left the jerkoff who was beating and threatening the spouse.

I would be hesitant to walk into the middle of a battle, unless it was really severe and I had something in my hands to get his attention, too many people with guns nowadays, but if there were a kid involved, I would be there in a heartbeat.

Scary now that so many people are on drugs and out of their minds, and the alcohol too. But I would always call.

I once arrested arrested 50 members of a drug gangf armed with automatic weapons hyped up on pcp. I arrested all of them with no injury or a shot fired.........no, not really but what a bad ass story that would be to tell my kids if it was true

You had me going for a minute there Rob, geeez. I worked for 17 years in Corrections, as an admin. secretary, read all kinds of crap. One of the first criminal histories I typed after being hired on was the case of a woman calling 911 while her estranged boyfriend was beating her door down with a butcher knife telling her he was going to kill her. She had a restraining order, and he did kick the door in, she ran out into the yard and he followed and he did stab her to death before the cops got there with the 911 operator listening. Made me sick to my stomach, made me think about how that could be me, my ex was always threatening me. I started with Corrections in 1985 or so and it sticks in my mind like it was yesterday. I feel so bad for her, she did everything right, restraining order, moved to hide from him, etc. Still didn't save her life. Gave me chills to this day to think about it.

I could never be a police officer, don't have the stomach for it.

I know a bouncer who took down 15 undercover cops at the back of the club when they wouldn't show ID. ...On camera. They got him for not registering with the state as a combat artist.

it is stories like that which reinforce my belief that every head of household should be armed. Nobody wants to use it, but it is a great equalizer for people of smaller stature. I started in corrections too, death row housing unit 4 at potosi correction center in missouri

i almost went to jail standing up for a family of adopted children , long story short thou , id do it again in a eye blink .
beaten and sexually abused , god help that pri*k if i see him on the street ,

I agree with families protecting themselves, as long as they know how to use them properly and keep them out of the hands of the kids. I am scared of guns after what I went through with my ex, don't even want them in my house, but understand why others do.

You guys are good guys and should have the right to defend your family. Good work Knight and Rob. Prisons are scary. The prison I spent most of my time in was a reception center/training center and they had an intensive management unit too, so had all classes of inmates, but I didn't have to work in the units, and wouldn't have either. Was an associate superintendent secretary for 9 years. Later a superintendent secretary at a prerelease for 4-1/2 years (it was co-ed and had our own issues - geez). But didn't have a lot of face-to-face inmate contact, and didn't want it.

'Bout time men regrew our balls and learned some honor. Good man, Knight. There are alternatives to guns, it's just that most people end up dead rather than becoming a "dangerous person."
