The pictures of all 148 law enforcement officers and 27 K-9's killed in the line of duty last year.


Rip to my brother in corrections. Sgt mark Baserman State Correctional Institution Somerset. Gone But Not Forgotten. Rip to all that gave their all in the line of duty.

A lot of people out there fail to realize how dangerous being a correctional officer is also...You are always in close quarters, outnumbered and surrounded by dirtbags...some of them total animals serving life who got absolutely nothing to live for. A baton, can of pepper spray, and a plastic shield being the only things keeping you from being ripped apart by them.

Stay vigilant. Stay safe. Stay alive.
 
Been a Medic for going on 21 years. It is rare to feel this way.

But, a small percentage of calls stick out in your mind, that the patients were about dead, or clinically dead, and we were effective instruments of God, and brought them back.
My time in the Fire Service spanned from long coat and boots to a Chief monitoring your air on a laptop outside. When I get together with the other retirees and someone talks about a fire we did together sometime I'll remember it. Mostly they are just vignettes to me they all run together. But I remember every medical call or wreck that I made a difference on like I'm watching a video.

Thank you Sir,
And to add, LE out here are frustrated their interest to remove this elements are fruitless cause the D.A. can't prosecute cause the laws are so F'ed up.

My concern for a narcotics officer friend who learned from another counties narco that a hit was out on him from his own CI caused me to call a retired chief I shoot with, Chief told me happens all the time. Can't tell that to your wife.

On the other Hand.....

Glad I know what I know,

Blows my mind how the culture holds its perception of what a hero is here in coastal cities of Commiefornia where union libs and media won't expose the truth about how compensation is paid to the two civil servants, Law enforcement Vs. Fire Protection.

Officers daily walk up to scenarios where the back of their heads could potentially get blown out. Not the same emotion a Fireman has as he is jumping into a set of turnouts to go stand around watching with seven other guys as the captain enters vitals into a pimped out laptop. Hell, the f***ing ambulance EMT's load the drunk non producing, illegal immigrant and transport. Then it's back to the firestation to finish a cuddly good nights sleep to get up and work out on the machines before taking the engine down to the 7-11 to get a slurpie and try to figure out which video game they are going to play to finish out the 24 hour shift.Sure there are busy stations in bad parts of town.

Got a buddy who we laugh with about doing a 72 hour shift (24hrs overtime) where the guys did not have one call. Another one who is "Backing Out" of the department (Disability where you go from getting 70% annual income to 80% WITHOUT TAXES) cus his wrists get sore from riding his bicycle the 3-4 days a week he doesn't work for the past 20+ years.

Both civil servant professions reveal great guys personally. Love them both!!!

Know a ton of captains, chiefs and officers in both professions and we all get a giggle out of how the culture decides which one they flash their tits for.



P.S.----
Don't EVER!!!! tease your Firebuddy in front of his wife or mommy. She will jump out of her lounge chair, fly over the campfire, and attempt to eat your face. The look on the other campfire partiers is hilarious, but it hurts your buddies heart.
How do I know????
 
n this fascinating aerial photo, flat farmland in Eastern Colorado appears 3-dimensional after passing winds blew the snow around. The photo, which appears to be taken from an airplane, was shared on reddit by user hoerr earlier this week.

This is how I know we don't have an overpopulation problem. Also, there's not a parking spot everywhere. It's just you city folk never leave the comforts of your city and think that everything is like your city. Who's closed minded now?

Seriously, get on a fucking plane ride from LA to NY or reverse, get a window seat and look out the fucking window the entire trip. Now tell me how we have to "save" the wilderness for your "future" generations by limiting or removing access to public lands. /rant off.
