Again...a college education doesn't translate into ability to be a good police officer. Education is good for basically one thing...it teaches you (or it should, in some folks case it failed) to be able to think for yourself! Anything else you can learn by reading the instruction manual! Bottom line, you either spend your life staring at the shadows cast on the cave wall or you turn and walk past the fire and into the real world...to be a good cop, you need to live in the real world!

Somerfrost, you sound like one of the good guys. You're one of those cops in which everyone loves and respects aren't you? You sound as if you are one of those that can find the good and bad in people instead of just the bad.

If you are one of the good ones, thank you.

And don't forget...you also need to know where the coffee and dough nuts are.

Sorry for jumping back in to this thread....
Jessica,
You'll never ever convince anyone that has a different point of view.
You said it best when you said, "Believe what you want."
I said the same exact thing a few pages back.
No, I wasn't there either.
Some things get far more twisted...especially months after the event happened.
Every one has a "spin". EVERYONE!
You just might be answering for a very long time.
Who has the next question?
Who demands the next explanation?

Now, I'm done with this...
time to bury it, cause it's starting to stink.
To me, it's very dead.
EWWWW!
Dig a hole,
Put something in it.
Otherwise, answers will be demanded from the "assertive" ones.
Read, arrogance.
Baffert apologized.
He's "turned the page."
Maybe we all should.

You're right DTS. That is what I did in my situation...I turned the page. It's time to talk about race horses anyway. No matter how much you know or how much you have experienced, sometimes you still won't get through to people. Yet another one of life's lessons....That is what makes horse racing so thrilling. It is the difference in opinions...

Somer.

It is very hard for some people to put themselves in other peoples/professions places. The automatic assumption that a security guard is a "rent-a-cop" that has an authority complex is the automatic, knee-jerk response.

Then its pretty clear some dont care what line of work people are in, it just matters if they have money and some sort of power. So its kind of ironic the money/power complex, clashes with the badge/authority complex. But it apparently happens all the time in sports.

I have been pulled over in my car at 2 am on the way to fish on a fishing pier by local athorities in Rockport Texas for no violation. After being pulled over I realizing I had just passed the towns "night" spots and I knew I was going to get the follow the lit pen test with my eyes. I complied as I very badly wanted to go fishing. After said event, the officer was very nice and asked me what pier I planned on going to. He then gave me directions to another pier that in his opinion would be much better for trout at given the time and tide.
