So I thought.......
At times I like to share my days with you guys for One, I consider everyone here a second family as I've been loyal for quite a few years which is rare on a forum. Secondly, To give some of the younger folk street smarts and wisdom to soak up. Lastly, Some of the things I see and have to do severely weighs on me emotionally, so talking about it helps .
Today started off quite slow and with nothing out of the ordinary, Just street patrol for a few hours issuing traffic violations.
Then my day starts.
My Partner and I headed to lunch to get some chow and relax for a bit in peace. While eating lunch my partner and I heard alot of arguing and yelling towards the front of the restraunt so we went to check it out. Apparently an older male came in, homeless wanting some food. He did have some cash on him but not enough and the female cashier told him that he was short, so he took it upon himself to expose himself to the female cashier in hopes she would be satisfied with his package. That went over like a fart in church. The guy was obviously on speed as it took my partner and myself to take the suspect down and apprehend him. He had some alone time in the car as we finished our burritos.
Later that afternoon we were dispatched to two Domestic Disturbances, But there was one that proved sad. As we approached the house there were neighbors outside looking towards the house emitting all the screaming and yelling. My Partner and I approached the house with guns drawn and knocked on the door, No answer, knocked harder, "Los Angeles Police Department"...Screaming and yelling stops. Guy opens the door and immediately responds with "Is there a problem Officer". Yes Sir, There is. We've had reports of alot of screaming and yelling coming from the premises. "Really, No everythings fine here.....Right kids?...Silence." My partner stays with the father as I go inside for a closer look and another story. The wife and kids are staying in the shadows and trying to not make eye contact with me, So a closer look shows the wife beaten badly, and the kids with busted lips and mulitple bruises as well...Long story short, The Father is now locked up and has always been an alcoholic and beats the family when he has too much.
Closing the day was confined of just assisting my fellow officers and the retrieval of a stolen vehicle.
I love this job, There isn't 1 day that is exactly the same, It's different EVERY single day. But doing this line of work you HAVE to have something to do, a hobby that helps clear your mind.. So myself and a few of my other guys also participate with the Big Brothers, Big Sisters program, Giving very unfortunate kids a better life. Well take em to ball games, help them with school work, Let them come over and spend time with our familes, Movies, games, etc. What these kids get out of having that bigger brother or bigger sister is something words cannot paint a picture of. I find it quite rewarding myself seeing that I'm making a kids life that much better.
