So the other night I'm on Facebook and see that this kid I knew years ago is now a constable. I think nothing of it until I see his porky self tonight at an event. He's sitting there directing traffic with the local police department, in a full black BDU outfit, full utility belt, carrying a Glock, and wearing a yellow reflective police vest. WTF! Is this kid serious, I mean what a total fraud! This is the epitome of Wannabe. I'm thinking to myself that he's delirious and thinks he's an actual cop. I could rant all night but Jesus Christ this is crazy. Reminds me of the constable in Justified...mirror image. Uugggh!!!!!!
Sounds like in addition to being a constable, he may also be a reserve? Pretty sure if someone dressed up like the 5-0 and started directing traffic with the actual police, they might wind up in cuffs.
Jealous, not in the least bit. The point is that I can't believe people actually do this stuff, strutting around like they're an actual police officer. But let's be real, constables are process servers and nothing more than that. And they're not even R/I academy trained at the minimum. We have the sheriffs department to serve civil process. Saw some sort of badge on his hip that looked like one of those stupid CCW badges, but I could be wrong.
You know if you stab a man in the dead of winter, steam rises from his wounds. Indians believed it was his soul escaping.
First off, IBTL Second, the line " We have the sheriffs department to serve civil process" raise suspicion about the validity of this thread. Third, Cowboy has hit the nail on the head. he is most likely a reserve and a constable. if he was "directing traffic" with other PO's he would be wearing the latest fashion of Peerless.
To the OP, you do know that people can do more than one thing. He could be a constable AND a reserve police officer. If the boys and girls in uniform weren't questioning why he was conducting traffic or the badge on his hip; then, why should you? Exactly, my daughter just started grad school, When I advised her to quit her job so she could focus on her studies, she said "And just how am I supposed to support myself?" Point, set, match (well that one) to the kid. Part-time isn't exactly supporting herself, but at least her foot stays in the door of her current career.
John Moses Browning would shit in his grave if Gaston Glock makes a 1911......Just saying. Might as well chamber one in .45 GAP too!
Ohhhh... a Grad student is passing judgement here. Gotcha. With that info your original post makes sense: In technical terms we call this a P.E.B.K.A.C. (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair). Thanks for dropping in, now run along now and get to class.
.45 GAP, wow haven't heard that mentioned in some time. Kinda get the feeling that round was DOA it's first day on the market
