Gotta prepare you for all these tough-talking ATOT-posting eThugs you'll run into every day ...

"God damn pigs, Imma get my Nine and bussa cap in dis here hizo-"
"You want to repeat what you just said?"
"No sir Officer sir. Please don't tell my Mommy, Officer. She'll make me go to bed without dessert Officer Sir."

Hah, I'm already used to it. It's times like those that it helps to be 6'5" 260...not to mention the badge & gun. 😉

When you're on the news for beating some punk down, reference ATOT somehow in your interview. 😀

"Dope or ban. What's it gonna be, punk?"

Have a :beer:!

If I did I'd be breaking the law. 😉

You can't drink beer? Ever? WTF? Every cop I know is a hardcore drinker.

I don't turn 21 until November, so right now I'd be breaking the law.

Oh. Well that would explain it then wouldn't it?

BTW-Congrats on the new job! I tried out for the LAPD once when I was younger. I wasn't minority enough or ex-military though so I suspect that's the main reason I never made it beyond the interview stage. They were actively recruiting minorities in the early 90s. I wasn't as good at interviews back then either so I probably came off as a bit nervous.

Did you apply to any other departments or just the LAPD? It makes sense that they'd recuit more minorities, especially if they were trying to have a racially representative PD. I don't feel that race should be an issue in any situation, especially a hiring one, but that's just me.

Just LAPD. Sheriff's department was even worse at the time and I didn't want to go work in the LA County Jail (although I probably would have been able to meet some celebs-hehehe).

I'm kind of glad I didn't get into law enforcement actually. The L.A. roits were a few years later. I wouldn't have wanted to be in that mess as a police officer.
