Drama... I don't need it!
Don't get me wrong. I understand Brian's concerns about my career, and occasionally I do give it a second thought myself. But, really, it's not as bad as some people make it out to be, and he of all people should know that.

Still, we lost two of our guys in traffic accidents on July 29, and last week the Police Commission reported that attacks on LAPD officers were up 39% this year. The Protective League says the community and the media should make more out of this stats and show more support for us guys.

Like that will ever happen. It's much more popular to paint LA cops as brutal or corrupt or lazy. You just have to learn to ignore it and do your job.

I've learned to be good at ignoring bullshit. But I have to remind myself that the concern my family shows for me is not part of that. It's one of the things that keeps me safe and happy... not just more drama.

I'm a lucky guy.

So sorry to hear about the negative side of your work, Jim. I can't begin to imagine what it must be like, but I admire you for doing it.

It is 'popular' to slam the Los Angeles police, but don't let that get you down. I'm sure many appreciate the hard work you do!

And I'm sure your family is worried -- which you can understand. It's because they love you so much.

Nice to see you posting, by the way.

(hugs)

If your waiting for public appreciation for the job, don't hold your breath. the only person who is appropriately appreciated for the job they do is the bloke who comes to your door to tell you you've won the lottery, the rest of us have to make do with the understanding of our family, the love from our mates, and the knowledge of the truth.

Good to see you back posting Jim. Missed you mate.
