I've long advocated decriminalization, if not outright legalization, of practically all controlled substances. The details can wait for another day, but we manage to prosecute those who commit crimea under the influence of alcohol. Regulate it, tax it, make it legal to sell it over the counter only at licensed premises. Oh, and any person who delivers or sells drugs to any person under age 17 --not his own child-- gets ten years in prison, without possibility of probation or parole.<BR/><BR/>And what was the moron thinking? All I can figure is that he'd made his brag to those younger people - - <I>"I ain't goin' back to jail. They'll have to KILL me, and I'm takin' some laws with me!"</I> Yeah, right. Maybe, if they have the chance. Some of those blowhards picture a stand in a dusty street, a gun in each hand, going out in a blaze o' glory. Given a situation where it's suicidal to attempt to fire even ONE shot, most of 'em reconsider.<BR/><BR/><B>carteach0</B>, <BR/>a good question. I'd say about half the plans work out pretty much as projected. The most successful ones are those with a minimum of personnel and very little complicated planning. I think the operation under discussion worked out well because, other than warrant preparation, we spent about ten minutes on the tactical plan and briefing, and used a grand total of --I think-- eight participants.<BR/><BR/><B>tom</B> - -<BR/>Thanks very much for the nice words. May your job always be emotionally rewarding, and may you always be glad for the coworkers you have. Best of luck in your career.JPGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224444263429720535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5306024999105542124.post-91690671361494902312007-11-10T12:17:00.000-06:002007-11-10T12:17:00.000-06:00Five to jail, a few pounds of weed, a few hundred ...Five to jail, a few pounds of weed, a few hundred pills, some white powder, and one gun logged in. No bloodshed, no shots fired, no uneasy calls to the boss, no interviews with the Rangers or the Grand Jury. Something to laugh about in times to come. Not a BAD evening's work, really.<BR/><BR/>-----------------------------------<BR/><BR/>And, a few additional things I hope you realize but are just too humble to mention...........<BR/><BR/>The respect and love of your friend, the sick Chief, who you helped in his hour of need. The respect and admiration of everyone of the guys who went through that door with you. The knowledge that the job got done, and done right. And most importantly, everybody went home kissed their wife and hugged their kids in large part because of your knowledge and experience. These things are the true reward of law enforcement and they can be very useful to remember, especially when you look at the numbers on your paycheck.<BR/><BR/>There are times when I look around and I see my co-workers. I think what a privilege it is to be associated with such people and have the opportunity to do this job. Granted, there are some wherever you go that probably shouldn't be there, but for the most part the police are as good of folks as I've met anywhere. It truly is the greatest job on earth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5306024999105542124.post-18398129876159175712007-11-10T08:29:00.000-06:002007-11-10T08:29:00.000-06:00Truth be told, how many plans actually work exactl...Truth be told, how many plans actually work exactly as..... planned?<BR/><BR/>Training, good reactions, clear thinking if possible...

You've heard this before, you can fill in the blanks yourself.)<BR/><BR/>Makes you wonder what a guy like that is thinking. Does he think the cops will go away? Does he think he's going to shoot you, but his nerve breaks? Does he think if he acts like he's going back to sleep, maybe nobody will think to look under the pillow?<BR/>Or is he just sleeping with a cocked single-action under his pillow because he's a moron, and he can't think of anything to do when the cops arrive, so he stalls in a stupid fashion?Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824445546892392815noreply@blogger.com
