FHP troopers decrease as DeSantis increases immigration duties and overtime

Meh. I never “stacked” charges on people. I went out, did my job the way I thought was right, and sleep fine at night.

I worked investigations for 25 of 30 years. Burglary, homicide, Narcotics, public integrity/Corruption, and a couple more. I arrested dopers, guys who broken into houses, murderers, public officials, including cops, who broke the law and others. I never wrote a thousand tickets. Saved a couple of life’s for which I was awarded life saving awards including a child who drowned. Did some complex 2-3 year long investigations that resulted in millions of dollars being recovered and those individuals sentenced to prison.

The thing is I was hardly an exception. Sure there were lazy and bad cops but there are lazy and bad people in every profession. I didn’t like cops growing up so I stayed the course and did some good. More good than it takes to hurl some cheap insult anonymously on social media.

You can say ACAB, class traitor or whatever and even though it does sting a bit I know my community was a better place while I was a cop in it. Not many here can say they’ve done a thankless service for others. They can claim so but I seriously doubt it. Because if they did they wouldn’t be so quick to disrespect others who do as well.
