LMPD officer taken to hospital after alleged assault

You cry babies are showing your lack of time on this department. Damn! Before merger ask our former county brothers how many patrolled huge areas with many times 4 cars at max. Granted they will tell you they on most night were slow concerning runs, but when they got a two officer run or a fight, the guys responding had to haul ***. Before merger ask our former city brothers about the former 4th district as an example. The 3 most violent projects in the state, for you little kids that Cotter, Southwick and Parkhill plus the rest of the area in that district. As one told me, from the early 90"s on their latewatch platoon averaged 6 to 7 cars a night and they were down on runs when they went in service. The moral of the story is.... we will never have enough patrol officers to keep up guys, get off it. What happened is those older guys which many are still on busted their asses and hustled everyday to make runs and try to hit crime as much as they could. Yeah they complained at times, but they will all tell you at the end of the day, they had fun, they had comradery on their platoons to handle business. You newer people sound spoiled, expect everyone to give you everything and kiss you butts. Oh and did I mention that the administrations back then were probably worse than what you think this one is because we all felt like some of you imply, but still did our thing.
