"Let's Be Careful Out There"

[pspence]

misdemeanors usually OK to apply to Academy. nothing involving moral turpitude.

that uniform is not what i was accustomed to, maybe it's a class A winter uniform. normally i would think it would have duty belt.

and once you are wearing that uniform, you better be armed, people out there want to kill your ass.

but...and i don't know about NY, you have not yet been state-certified at Academy graduation (there is a state exam), which is required to carry.

i was required to be armed even if i had only my Dept. baseball cap on. anything that indicates you're a cop makes you a target.

hard for me to tell ratio black to white officers there. i was looking for women officers in that crowd.


my graduation was at Christmastime, and i wore Christmas socks with reindeers i thought nobody could see (until i walked up on stage). well my ass got cheerfully chewed.

I bet you looked hot. Remember Angelina Jolie, a police officer, in her uniform in movie years ago when Densiel (sp?) Washington was bedridden? .. That takes nothing away from the fact that as a woman you make us all proud. I can only imagine how difficult the training was and I can see you hanging in there with all those men and earning their respect.
