Sometimes I think when my current enlistment is up, of going back to Seattle and being a cop.

You're overqualified.  Pick another profession.

What's wrong with becoming a Seattle cop?

I tried to urge by brother into joining the police.  It's a very well paid job, nice benefits, and you can retire pretty early.

Sounds like a 1970s TV show in the making. Take Siegy as your sidekick.

:lmfao: Ton would be spending all his time keeping Siegy from "searching" all the suspicious looking middle school girls with their Hannah Montana backpacks.

EPS also has/had one of the highest rates of complaints of excessive force by its members in western Canada.
I don't blame them.  There are all sorts of people in this town who are going to be executed at some point.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Nothing.  Except in Tonitrus' case, I feel he is more qualified for something else other than human kitty litter scoop.

Then that begs the question: why didn't you do it then?
Yeah, I thought so.

Because I have a job that also has nice benefits, pays even better, and doesn't involve being called out in the middle of the night.

But it also requires a law degree, something that Tonitrus (and my brother) don't have.

What I want is the "job" I once saw a couple of cops having - riding horses through lakeshore park on a perfect spring day.  :D

Beats the crackhouse shift, that's for sure.

You know they also have to ride through lakeshore park when it's raining or snowing.

Sorry, but your veiled "well, the world needs ditch diggers, too" attitude doesn't fly with me, you elitist fuck.

Still beats the crackhouse shift.

Also, I must say I've never actually seen the horse cops out in bad weather (I spotted them on the drive in from work. Nice weather = horse cops. Bad weather = no horse cops).

I suspect the purpose is not to patrol the park, but to exercise the horses, used for riot control. The park is pretty well totally safe.

Horses don't do well on iced-over pavement.

But the world doesn't need ditch-diggers.  We have backhoes for digging ditches.  :contract:

But we do need cops.

Tonitrus is overqualified, since he can walk and chew gum.  Now the mutt whose family you married into, I don't know.
