Captain Bill Burt Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 A recent thread addressing our police friends has vanished, thankfully. The purpose of this thread is to let our law enforcement pards know how much we appreciate all they do for our communities and SASS. If you don't feel that way, just move on please. I am not a LEO, nor have I ever wanted to be, but I have quite a few SASS pards who are in Law Enforcement, Tuco, Badlands Bob, Lawman Mark, Loquacious Bill, and many others. Thanks guys for all you do to help keep us all safe. I leave you with a quote from George Orwell. "We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pack Saddle Slim, SASS #73122 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I agree wholeheartedly, Cap'n. I knew long ago that I didn't have the right attitude to go into law enforcement. Those men and women have my utmost respect. My temperament is such that I would be more tempted to do away with some perps than put up with their guff. I probably wouldn't even mind doing all the paperwork involved either, just as long as we weren't bothered by the jerks anymore. See? Isn't it good that I didn't go into law enforcement?

Captain Bill Burt Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 I'm used to "guff" I'm a high school teacher. I prefer to live life with the standard number of holes in my body and no unwanted additions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuco Forsyth #72674 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Thanks Capt. Bill Burt, the stories I could tell over the last 27 years as a popo.

Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 "We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm." I sleep safely because I have a gated property with motion detectors, a monitored burglar alarm, a German Shepherd burglar alarm, a .40 S&W in the side drawer, a tactical 12 ga. with buckshot under the bed; the wife has a .38 +P Lady Smith in her drawer, with a tactical 20 ga. with buckshot under the bed. That said, I appreciate the guys and gals who for the most part do a thankless job, often considered the bad guy. I'm still suspect of that Utah Bob guy...

Bama Red Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Thanks Capt. Bill Burt ........... Most criminals aren't the sharpest pencils in the box. And that is why the jails are so full.
