Leaving

 

Photo retired today. He's earned his time. He was hired six months after I was. He worked the old South Precinct and Felony Flats and moved to West when South closed. Semper Fi!

JB resigned today  to join his wife in Texas. A nicer man, I have never met and one of the few people who appreciates my bad dad jokes.

Happy 4TH!

 

 

Warrantless Entry Exception

 

If there's report of a fight and weapon, and there's a basketball sized smear of fresh blood on door, you have a warrantless exception to make legal entry. 

 

 

13

 

Last night, in the wee hours, I emptied out 13 old notebooks, each at least five years old., from my locker. The experience is liberating. 

 

 

The Mage

 

You may be a magician, the smartest man on earth, and celestial being dwelling on the astral plane, but your repeated expressed angry intent to use "lethal force" on anyone who hazes or cast spells against you forces me to place a hold on you and sending you to the hospital for a mental health evaluation. 

 

 

 

That's Not How It Works

 

Tonight, off 6th, a man called dispatch to complain how a street preacher telling of the story of Joshua threatened him. When I called the complainant, he informed me the 1st Amendment protected him from being offended by speech he did not want to hear and would sue the city if I did not make the street preacher stop. 

 

 

Reward

 

If you catch a stabber, the sergeant gives you a Starbuck's card. 

 

 

Short

 

West Afternoons was short. We were -8 and half strength: Three cars on the Eastside. Three Cars Downtown. Two cars in SW.

 

 

Rules: Tourniquet

 

1) If possible, apply it against bare skin. Use trauma shears to remove clothing.

2) The higher on the limb, the better.

3) It is going to hurt the patient, but keep turning until the flow of blood stops. 

4) If one does not work, use a second. 

5) Do the best you can. Medics will arrive soon.
