FTP....Except the Sheriff

[03trubluGT]

No, you idjit. I was trying to make the point that unless you work directly for the chief, you won't get any pressure from the chief. Shit rolls downhill, and you aren't near enough the top to see where it starts, and you aren't at the bottom to have it all land on you. Like your superiors you just pass it along, so you'll get it from your higher up.

To steal a line from Exlude

Really?

You think I live in an isolated cubicle to not know how things work?

I have classmates that are Captains, and I could be too, if I wanted to be a paper jockey and lose all contact with police work. How many times do you think a Captain puts on a uniform, jumps in a marked unit, and actually does hands-on police work?

Do you realize that a Captain is only 2 promotional exams away?

When I tested for Corporal/Detective, I came out #7 out of over 120 people.

When I tested for Sergeant, I was #2 by one point.

What would make anyone think I could not do as well for LT or Capt? It's just a test. Study some material and regurgitate answers.

If something jacked up were to come down the line, I'm sure as hell going to question it's validity before I pass it down to the troops.

Wow, this thread went south fast. I put FTP in the title; I should have known what the end result would be.

The FTP sharks will take any bait.

Lookie there! I have two on the line in this thread.....

Oh, lookie there. A tangent! Who said anything about your ability to advance. Yet again you prove Eric's point. Jesus christ man. "Just the facts, sir."

Is it really jacked up if your boss told you 'I'd like you to focus more on other things and not worry so much about others?' For example. "Sgt. Derp, I'd like you to have your guys focus more on calls and less on traffic." or vice versa.

I say fuck all law enforcement who don't obey the laws themselves.

Fixed that for ya.

I was thinking of putting that first but there have been some cool cops to let me off with warnings and such.

They all break laws. No matter how small and mundane, or large and heinous, all of them do it. That's why I fixed your quote.

I was going to post, but I see Matt posted 10 times that can only mean that someone said something that HE doesn't agree with and that started a e-shitstorm...


lmao!

What would I be butthurt about Matt? You're the one crying in yet another FTP thread.
Let me guess, someone posted some inaccuracies about what LEO's do and you just had to post your opinion followed by you don't know what we (I) do so shut up, followed by you making fun of certain members that disagree with you or call you out for you deflecting an answer?

Amirite???
