Your right, sorry! Told ya, it's a pet peeve thing. And I'm a slow reader!

The sad part is that cops tend to hang out only with other cops, so we never get to see them when they are off-duty.
HA!! Nobody knows what I do for a living. Although, according to J607, I've either gotten kicked out of the police academy, or a rob convenience stores for a living.
This is not true for every cop. Sure I have my cop friends, but I also have a lot of non-cop friends that I make a point to hang out with as much as I can. I try to leave work at work and that is hard to do when I hang out with other cops, and all we do is talk about work. By hanging out with non-cops I can talk about whatever and every conversation doesn't have to be about the job.
I don't know what you do for a living, but I've met you in person. The robbing convenience stores thing is entirely possible...
I'm glad to hear that! I think it can make a huge difference in overall attitude and perspective. My impression of you is that you'd be a fun guy to hang out with, as well as a good cop. Maybe this has something to do with it.
I think some cops have trouble distancing themselves from their job, and since they encounter a much higher percentage of criminals or crime on a daily basis than the rest of us, it skews their perspective. For those that socialize mostly with other cops, they are then immersed with others who are talking about the criminals and crime that they encountered. I think this not only reinforces the somewhat natural "us vs. them" attitude that can arise when people of one profession or interest spend too much time isolating themselves, but also gives the impression that criminals are more prevalent among the citizenry.
The hours sound really attractive, but I bet the benefits are lousy.
I thought cops had lots of non-LEO friends. Every stripper I ever met said her boyfriend was a cop. Oh, and she was only dancing to put herself throught college.
At least you don't have to pay any income tax.
She only told you that so you'd leave her alone.

I think there's a line to fill in for money received from criminal activity. Otherwise, what would politicians declare??
Besides, you wouldn't want the thugs spending time in the federal pen for tax evasion!!
I am wondering why that is in Purple?!
I'm having a purple kind of day.

As opposed to your normal "Blue" day??
I will concur with Frank, I rarely hang out with the guys off-duty. There is a select 3 or 4 that we will go to dinner as a group on occasion. Other than that, it is my family I spend 99% of my off-duty time with. I still do have the same core group of friends from high school 20years ago. I do not like hanging around strangers and I don't like talking about work off-duty. It is the rookies that eat-breath the job. That's ok, we want a high spirited rookie so when they settle down they don't turn into loads. If they started off as loads, they settle into being really big loads.I'm glad to hear that!
