Rules for the new breed:
#1 Be as selfish as humanly possible. Don't stand for the old standard of "dues" and "seniority". They are lame terms of a dying generation. You deserve your's now, not later, move along dinosaurs.
#2 Back stab away. The best way to get ahead, or up the ladder, is to pull the guy ahead of you off the ladder. Be dirty, but don't lie if you could get caught.
#3 Question everything. Eventually they will not have an answer for why and cave in. That or they will worry about being politcally correct and change the rules or standards.
#4 Dont stick your neck out for anyone but yourself, unless you get something in return and you really are in no danger. Why risk your neck, or ehh life, for some total stranger who just happens to wear the same uniform as you. Worry about yourself, you are all you got.
#5 Show the world the cop you are. Its amazing how the law enforcement community has survived all these centuries without you. Spread your knowledge and insight so everyone can learn from your fresh and youthful view of the world of police work.
Yes friends, follow these simple rules to being a good cop and you too can be of the "NEW BREED". You will also find some of us middle breed guys waiting in the wings to either: a) stomp your ass b) let you fall on your face once or twice c) be forced to testify against you at an IA d) tell your wife, or "life partner", that you are cheating on it and get you thrown out of your own house.
There are scumbags of the world that relish when a cop gets hurt, fired, or killed. They think its great. The media loves the story they get re-broadcast 10,000 times. The government politicians love being able to memoralize a fallen hero to show they care. With all of these things against us can we try and act like brothers and sisters, just for 8 hours (12 for the deputies in jail).
And for the record, 10-69er, if I ever figure out who you are, we will talk.
