As soon as the going got tough in Atlanta, they supposedly were going to all walk. I asked who was gonna protect the elderly, the people in hospitals, the people in nursing homes? I guess they shouldn't have gotten old and sick. In the military, that's desertion and is punishable by firing squad. If you're a cop, you can just be a quitter.

There are probably other places than OKC where cops have actually done their jobs, but I don't know of any.



EE, I like to take you seriously, but when you post like this it's hard to do.
I've never known whether you were a cop or not but suspected so. I'm sure you're one of the good ones Gruff. I'm sure Deflave is too. In all sincerity and without giving an inch on any I've said on the subject.
