Quote: "Then again you are probably one of the guys who applied and didn't get the job, or is too scared to actually go to the west end and put your hands on people. It's ok little fella it takes all kinds. Just keep drinking your Starbucks and making your barking dog runs, but one day you may need some assistance from the rest of us "almighty" brothers in blue."

If you're another hometown hero from Fairdale or PRP who made it big by finishing high school and joining LMPD, then I've worked much more dangerous beats than you in a much more dangerous city than you have. You're an immature child. I hope nobody made the mistake of issuing such a person a weapon.

The cowboy mentality is as damaging to a department's reputation as those who lay down their whole shift out of laziness or to "get back at the department" for something. LMPD has too many screwups and needs to demote and fire a bunch of them now.
