Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Open Season on LEO in 2021.

I retired after 33 years as a Columbus Police Officer in 2018. I was a patrol officer for 7 years, helicopter pilot for 13 years, Narcotics Tactical entry Officer for 6 years, and did the rest as a plain clothes under cover Narc. I miss the people, not the job. I never thought about getting killed. Just did my job. Now is a terrible time to be a LEO. I blame the Obama administration for most of this cop hatred. Officers are so worried about getting arrested now, that they hesitate and don't shoot when they should. This will get many Officers killed I fear.

Ohio7x57, congrats on a good run and getting out clean! I too am able to go as of November 2020. I have 34 years on and I am now looking for civilian job to pass the time until my wife can retire. she has told me flat out that she wants me out of the business as soon as I find a job that i can find some purpose getting out of bed for! I cannot wait to go but still feel like I am cutting and running for the door. The haters ( brave keyboard commandos) on this forum will never be satisfied with what or how we do things. But, they will still get into binds and call us because they cannot and will not be brave enough to go handle their problems on their own! Go figure, in the end they talk it but but don't walk it. The brave little keyboard solders that they are! They are funny to me, modern day paper lions!

cs2blue, I didn't work for a year and a half. I had guys recruiting me for private security and bodyguard stuff, but I'm not interested in that at all. An ex LEO buddy of mine called a little over a year ago and offered me a job driving transplant surgeons around the state a couple days a week. Pretty decent gig for a retired guy who doesn't want full time employment. Stay safe!

Ron, One of fellow Sgt's is also doing just that same job . Part time, until he retires in October.He picks the transplant team and donated organ up at the airport and drives them which ever Hospital the recipient is waiting at. his company pays for anything they need or want, including a high dallor steak dinner! He likes it so far. I too have had a few offers, but I do not want to be do much of anything LE related. I have had enough of that! So I am still looking. I am looking forward to being a civilian again, excited actually! Enjoy yourself in your retirement. You have worked hard for awhile now and now it is time to enjoy that 1/3 of your life that you worked the other 2/3 of your life preparing for!! Be safe and watch your six! Mike

Unless your were Armed Forces LE , you have always been a civilian as LEO.

- LE officer is a sworn civilian.

- Non-military cops are civilians as they are not subject
to the provisions of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

- Cops get fired just like regular civilians do, they
don't get court-martialed.

- Cops go to prison like regular civilians do, they
don't go to the brig.

- Cops face a jury of peers composed of 12 members
of the general public, just like regular civilians do.

- Cops can leave the civil service at any time and for any reason
just like regular civilians can and do.
Active duty combatants (non-civilians) cannot.

- A civilian under the laws of war is a person who is not
a member of his or her countrys armed forces.

LMAO, I triggered the starfish into a grand mal typing seizure.

Another 'round of drinks' for Miker
he's having trouble coping.

Great solution to your problems miker_
deflection, denial and self-medicating
and funniest of all self-incriminating ..lol.

But you all need to recognize what
a great cop Miker is...and the more
he drinks the better he thinks he is..

Damn Gunner you just had WAM cyber draw his service weapon. You’re lucky he didn’t cyber taze you. 😉😂
