You know- I simply shake my head in amazement sometimes. I've been a Houston street officer for 21 yrs. It's never been a "control"thing for me or a need to break it off in you because I have the power. I have a job to do-plain and simple. I assure you I know the laws inside out and backwards. I have scraped dead babies off the pavement and saved your neighbors from whippings from spouse beatings. I don't seek anything out of the ordinary regarding public recognition. Let me do my job to the best of my abilities and everyone wins in the long run. Trust me when I tell you I've seen things your nightmares cannot begin to fathom and yet you feel you understand what I do enough to slam my profession. You're the first to call me when your life has an immediate problem and the first find fault in what I do if it doesn't meet with your approval.
Give it a rest here people-try on my shoes then perhaps you'll see things a little different. Make no mistake about it-there are some crummy cops and I've known many. But for the most part I've been proud of who I am and those I work with.
