Thread Name: Do you play in a Police State?
Subject: RE: Do you play in a Police State?
Well, here I am again, standing up for the wrong side of The Job. I just found out that Himself will be ALL ALONE after 3:00 this morning. This means that if he gets a SERIOUS or DANGEROUS call, his options are:

Go alone, and take a chance.
Call for back up and wait for said back up to answer the phone, get out of bed, wake up, get dressesd, go to the CopShop and then go to the site of the incident. Which means a 20 minute wait, minimum, for the victim. What is happening to the victim in the meantime? Just what do I do here?

Call the Chief or the Mayor at midnight and tell them of my displeasure that my husband is in potential danger, or that the Citizens are in potential danger? I don't think so..........just file for Death Benefits, and a civil suit if anything does happen? If I just do that, where is the real vicitm in this incident?

Friends, it ain't cut and dried here.

Is this thread worth starting a Part II? It is getting very long. Let me tell you,being married to a Cop sucks. Sucks big time, but I love him. So there are no easy outs for me.

Kinda like being married to a preacher man, huh, Praise?

(ok, sorch, it's your choice, so deal with it.............)
