When I was driving to work, I was run off of a two-lane road and onto someone's lawn by this chase.

After I got to work, the same chase ended in a retaining wall in our parking lot...missing my car by inches again.

While waiting for his day in court, the same wingnut went on another high speed chase and ran down/killed two college kids broken down on the side of an interstate highway.....

Bad guys will always have superior firepower because they aren't restricted by budgets, TTPs, or morals.

Do you guys watch any of the reality cop shows? I know they canceled some of them but "body cam" is still playing.

I watch cop shows, but I haven't watched Live PD or other reality shows in awhile.

That sounds like fun haha. Well not for the weak of stomach, but this one comes at us straight from earlier in the tour about 3 hours ago. A drunk lady decided to leave a trail of hot magma in the back of one of my officers cars after he arrested her for DUI. My guy had to pull over and get out of the car because the smell was so bad he almost puked. It was running down the seats. Unfortunately my agency doesn't buy the interceptors with the molded plastic rear seats, they get the regular cushions...so its in everything. Had to put the car down and it will have to get fumagated and professionally sanitized before its back in service. I have a pretty strong stomach. Blood, guts, puke, body decomposition in varying degrees...Im pretty good with. Hot body chocolate, no bueno.

That is the worst. It smells awful. I am thankful for the black molded plastic back seats in our Explorers. We have trustees cleaning the cars out regularly since people love to spit, urinate, defecate and throw up while detained in the back seat.

One of the perks of being a Sgt is its will be damn near the apocalypse before someone rides in the back of my car ever again...🤣

Lol! Quite the perk for sure. I need to hurry up and get there. This field work is for the birds and the young(er) cowboys.

I've been on night command for a long time now. January I'm getting a steady day squad, so only a few more months of this then I can sleep like an actual human lol. Honestly I will miss the guys on last out. They tend to be younger and actually want to do the job. I know on days I'm going to inherit a bunch of ROD guys and then of course the administration will expect that I can turn them into super troopers, even though the past 3 Sgts didn't.

Our day shift is much the same as what you describe(d) while our evening/PM shift (…1400-0000 hours) is the busiest with priority and emergent calls. I like to do my overtime on early mornings/graveyard shifts because it's the quietest. It's either quiet or somebody just hung themselves or got murdered.

Welcome to the ER. My shoes probably look and smell like that back seat of yours after a shift.

That just gave me visions of stinky toes and chipped toenail polish.

Evenings 1600-0200/1700-0300 were the busiest shifts for us generally, but you never know. We all rotated so none of this old guys doing days, which I hated anyway. And FTR, it was generally the old guys I worked with that got the job done. Near the end of my career the younger guys seemed to be the ones pounding the poodle.

You and Slowphiveo paint some interesting visuals with words.

I have to admit that I have been exposed to some very interesting folks in my life who have expanded my vocabulary. I worked in the commercial diving industry before my career in policing, and during my LE career I had the good fortune to be on courses with the Canadian, US and British navy's. Much of what I learned wasn't suitable for mixed company though.
