So here I am, a little fishy in my little fish bowl watching the cats (inmates) watch me. I can tell they want to scoop me up, grind me up, and swallow me up like a pounce kitty cat treat. The only thing stopping them is the punishment they will receive from their owners (catch a new case for aggravated battery to a peace officer).
Here on the night shift they just implemented a program to save money on breakfast trays. Whichever inmate that wishes to eat must come out of their cell and eat in the common area. Whoever stays in their cell does not receive a tray. Tension is very high among staff and the inmates regarding this new procedure. If you could see these trays I’m sure you would agree that they can’t cost anymore than 50 cents per tray. So far I’ve averaged saving the county about 3 trays a day. I find it despicable that a savings of $1.50 per day is more desirable than my safety.
I just placed 32 bids for the day shift. I’m totally on the fence as far as hoping I get days. I REALLY, REALLY HATE IT HERE; I REALLY, REALLY HATE THE NIGHT SHIFT. But I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY (WELL YOU GET THE POINT) HATE IT HERE ON THE DAY SHIFT.
The shit going down on the street with police officers being killed has not gone unnoticed here in jail. Political correctness and the popularity of liberal thinking has really swung the balance on the scales of justice in the favor of the criminal (I write this as a former liberal thinker).
The public is quick to cry police brutality when an officer makes a decision to use force (be it lethal or non lethal i.e. taser). This is tantamount to Monday morning quarterbacking. We all know the play that would have scored the winning TD after the coach blows the game.
I invite everyone to watch this video. It is a simple traffic stop that ends with the execution of the police officer caught on the cruiser’s dashboard camera. As you will see the officer is extremely slow to use force to protect himself. Ironically this officer was just counseled by his superiors for being too aggressive. I’m sure that meeting played a part in this officer’s death.
So civilians before you are quick to judge please put yourself in that officer’s shoes. It aint no joke out there and there are a lot of scumbags that will sooner throw gasoline on a burning officer than piss on him to put out the flames.
Officers keep in mind that we are under a microscope. Know when to stop pummeling people. Cameras are everywhere. Don’t beat the shit out of a female that you outweigh by 100lbs because she won’t serve you anymore. Respect the people you have sworn to protect. Respect the badge. Respect yourself.
