Having left LEO work and trying to go back I have to chime in and say that if he was shafted like he said, I don't see how he would want to go back. If that happened to me, I'd have a new form of PTSD along with all the chewy pills I could get my hands on!
For me, before there was the Thin Blue Line, there was the Blood Stripe! Semper Fi!
Our fear reminds us that we are not God, our faith reminds us that He is!
**DISCLAIMER** I'm not a current LEO, but have six years experience with two city PD's in NC and TX as a sworn officer. I'm in the process of returning to LEO work ASAP.
