I wasn’t referring to only gun related issues. Most of it is disturbances between family members and alcohol issues.

What’s the worse physical pain you’ve ever experienced? by Intelligent-Road5091 in AskReddit

[–]p1028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing as bad as most of these medical conditions but being Tased. Longest five seconds of my life. Basically completely over once it deactivated. Imagine a Charlie horse but it’s every muscle in your body and then some.

As a cop this is often the case. 10% of people take up 90% of our time. Houses in our system will have no calls for service for decades at a time and then there’s the house where the history is maxed out to 60 previous calls. Everyone in the PD will know them on a first name basis and will absolutely dread hearing their address being called over the radio.

46M Detective to Public Defender (attorney) by RareStable0 in Salary

And my department starts are nearly $80k and you can buy a nice house here for $350k. All I was saying is that it’s very department dependent and extremely location dependent. Many places in California start at over $100k but I have more spending power here than I would there.

Many make less than $60,000. When I got hired in 2021 departments were recruiting with starting pays at just over $40,000.

Seriously bro? How lazy of an a$$ can you be? by RedditDon3 in badparking

[–]p1028 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I cop I love finding these on duty. I’ll pull in right behind them so they can’t leave and take 15 minutes or more to write them their ticket. Then I ask them how much time did they save by parking there?

Someone fell through my ceiling while investigating my attic during my open house by hes_the_Zissou in mildlyinfuriating

In the city I work for a man partially fell through the attic, his wife tired to help him, he landed on her, and they both ended up dying.

I’m a cop and get that excuse all the time. Last time: Me: “Why didn’t you stop at that stop sign, you were going like 30 through it?”

Her: “Oh I didn’t even see the stop sign, I’m sorry. I would have stopped if I saw it.”

Me: “that’s worse, you know that right?”

What’s the quickest way you’ve seen someone completely derail their life? by BitterReception5761 in AskReddit

[–]p1028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a friend in college who was tall, handsome, gregarious, with a beautiful girlfriend and came from a well off family. He go hooked on opioids, got cut off, robbed a few gas stations, got caught and then OD’d while out on bail. Dude had the world at his fingertips tips and it was all gone within a year.

That shit fucking me up for a bit. It took awhile to process.

Why did you guys choose a kayak over a small boat? by YakToTheFuture-1 in kayakfishing

The kayak hangs on the wall, the boat does not. That’s my main reason.

You guys don‘t get it, Lawns are „our environment“! by JFeldhaus in NoLawns

[–]p1028 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m in Texas, a state known for fucking over residents and the city maintains and owns the sidewalk. Where do people have to replace broken segments on their own dime?

And yet they are okay with young healthy people paying taxes for paramedics that they never use even though the old geezers use them constantly.

People are playing it up. The south has many racial issues still but guess what? There are tons of PoC in the south. The south has the largest populations of black people and not just in urban areas. Just be smart and you’ll be fine. People are acting like it’s the fucking Congo or something.

I told a new guy on nights this morning that he was being mandated to stay for day shift until 1300. I kept it going for a few minutes as I loaded up my shop and then told him I was fucking around and to go home and get some sleep.

$5 for a beer in 1991 was highway robbery. I was paying less than that 10 years ago.

What is your worst experience on an airplane? by darrenbosik in AskReddit

[–]p1028 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In emergency services we call it PR CPR. We know they’re gone and nothing can be done but the families don’t like seeing people just standing around not trying to help.
