Their stories are about chasing people, car accidents, dangerous situations, speeding. Me? My stories are about inspections and checking doors. My "swagger" is fading, too. I used to walk into a room and think I was the most awesome and sexy motherfucker there. Now, I'm just another motherfucker. About two weeks ago, I did police work for some guy who needed the night off. I liked it. I liked it a lot. Three gun calls, two domestics, an alligator in someone's yard, one deranged inmate, some drunk people, and lots of goofing off at our local diner. It felt good. Damn good. I could go back to being a cop today if I wanted to. My old boss has already expressed this. They even told me that if I'd have showed up to their raids, I'd have even my picture in our local paper (because most of the guys that work there are marshmallows and I still look professional). I'd be a fool to give up a job that pays hundreds more a month for doing absolutely nothing for a job that has me dealing with the worst of our community in dangerous situations for less money.......right? |
But didn't you have a good reason for leaving that involved racism if my memory is correct.
