...when they set up sting operations. Their subjects have to be average height and weight, no facial hair, no hats, and are supposed to appear so that a 'reasonable' person would card them. The M'Boro PD, when running their own stings without the liquor commission, has no requirement to adhere to these standards, and have gone out of their way not to adhere to them on occasion, IMO.

I don't mind the state testing us. I do mind the PD tricking us. The difference is enormous.

I hope our new chief comes from out of town. WAY out of town. And I hope they appreciate the enormous PD we have for a town this size, and try to use it more positively than hassling local businesses, referring to African American MA students in derogatory terms, or pulling over school busses in the middle of the winter, complete with lights and sirens, because 6th grade boys acting like 6th grade boys made some rude hand signals to the officer's wife out the back window of the bus. Some of our officers have displayed some ridiculous, unprofessional, and often egomaniacal behavior on our dime. It needs to stop. As cop jobs go, this one is cake. Someone needs to remind every one of them of that fact. My buddy is NYPD Precinct One, I think he could tell them what he went through on 9/11 and offer a little perspective they could certainly use.
