Occasionally I come on here and I read through some of these exaggerated threads like everyone else. I’ll admit it, some of it is so far fetched and ridiculous that I can’t help but laugh at the stupidity that gets posted on here. I accept it for what it is, a mild form of entertainment from people who don’t have anything better to do with their time. Almost everyone in the department has been a victim of a post on here, including myself. Anyone who really knows me, knows that I can take a joke just as quick as I can dish one out. So writing about me doesn’t bother me at all. In fact, I’ve encouraged the moderator to leave any posts that have been made about me in the past alone, and asked him not to delete it. Those same people will also tell you that I always say the same thing: although I chuckle at some of the trash that gets posted on here; it’s extremely sad to know that in such a small organization we can’t get along better than this. A post (which has since been deleted, along with my earlier response) from earlier today could’ve been life changing and possibly career ending for one of our fellow officers. If you dislike me, or anyone on my shift, that’s fine I understand. There’s a wide variety of personalities here, so I don’t expect everyone to like each other or get along. You should however at least have the decency to approach me and talk about it. Instead, you hide behind your computer and post things that our detrimental not only to the shift and one of the officers on that shift, but to the organization as a whole. Let me make one thing clear, I take pride in what I do and wouldn’t jeopardize it for anyone or anything. I don’t condone the behavior that was described in that post, nor do I think it’s funny to throw out false accusations like that either. I don’t have a problem identifying myself because I stand by what I say. Maybe you should do the same (although I suspect you won’t, and will continue to be two-faced your entire career).
