Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Why The Innocent Flee From the Police - William Norman Grigg

Time was an old friend would run from every game warden he saw whether he had broken the law or not, just to have the game wardens chase him.
This crazy SOB could run a mile with combat boots on in a bit over four minutes I saw it happen in basic training!
Never saw a GW even get close to catching him.

Credibility for a police officer means ALWAYS telling the truth, even when it goes against you, and NEVER having to guess what the truth is. I had a perp accuse meof lying on the stand once. The judge stopped him in mid sentence and told him that Officer Keith's credibility would never come into question as long as he sat on the bench because he had heard me telling it straight for too many years to ever believe I was not 100%, bang on, telling the truth, both against and in favour of the defendant.

I read page one and jumped to here. I wore the badge, I arrested folks, I never once saw an individual taken advantage of by an officer of the law unless that person started an altercation with the lawman. I have heard yes Sir or yes Maam come from the lawmans lips many times, I have used them in sincerity. Every runner I saw usually had something illegal on their person when tackled. Since I changed careers I have been pulled over several times, I quickly pull over where safe, I keep both hands visible, look them in they eye, and start off with hello Officer whatever their name is on the badge and say Yes Sir or No Sir on the questions. You can see their demeanor change.

So Mr. I choose a monkey for my picture, Sir, until you have pulled someone over with a gun in their lap who freely admits that they would have killed you if you would have been alone, or had a runner turn with a weapon to use because they have a felonous amount of controlled substance on their person and don't want to go back to jail and will sort of shoot or stab you to keep from going back to jail for the third time perhaps you should get your paranoia treated and stop when asked by the lawman who is trying to keep drugs from your kid or a drunk driver from hitting your wife or children. Did your momma ever tell you that you have to give respect to get respect?
