No Trucks
pistolpete-I also wish there was no purpose for police oficers, but until greed, hate, violence, and drunken/drugged-up idiots are erased from our society, they will always have a job, and will be who civilized society will call to clean up the messes. Peace officers are not the ones that want to start trouble, they are the ones that have to deal with the trouble that someone else has started. Who else is going to be out there at 3 AM when drunks are beating up their spouses or driving their cars into trees at 80 mph. Picking up body parts when PSA flight 182 crashed over North Park, digging through tons of garbage looking for the body of little Jahi Turner, rushing to the McDonalds massacre or Brenda Spencer's Monday shooting of an elementary school instead of running away like most sane people would be more inclined to do, or how about jumping on top of the tank on 163 and having to kill the drug-crazed nut when he wouldn't give it up after flattening numerous cars in Linda Vista and was working his way downtown-all jobs that the police have taken care of in the past. Jobs that police officers willingly do for the better of society, and I for one appreciate all that they do. Dan Bessant was worth 10,000 of you.— September 13, 2009 3:36 p.m.
