"Thank you..." for carrying a firearm.

[BehindBlueI's]

Did you get his badge number? I think you should call and get him some rep in the dept

Don't do that. I know you guys mean well, but if the officer's supervisor doesn't care for him expressing that particular opinion you may just as easily get him in trouble as get him an attaboy.

I'm thinking Frank_N_Stein has found a new way to self promote. Did he put you up to this? My money is on this being a thinly disguised "Attention whore story #4"

Or maybeeee...

Frank has a nemesis rising.

I thought that they no longer had the right to publish that info in indiana???

I have been told that its now not published??

What is correct??

Thanks

 

[ashlynsdaddy]

great story

 

[EvilBlackGun]

Just say, "He was VERY ....

... professional," and don't give all the details. Good rep builds quickly and readily among officers like this, and it shows. EBG

Great story! I'd contact the Sheriff and let him know what an outstanding deputy he has.

This story is awesome all the way around!! It honestly makes my day to know there are still good honest LEOs out there with something of use inside that spherical object on top of their shoulders.

 

[mrortega]

Weeeelll. I'm waiting for the end of the story; when he clubbed you from behind, cuffed you and stomped your face into the ground.

 

[repeter1977]

great story. Seems to be so few on here, not sure if thats just cause nothing but negative encounters, OR no one usually posts the positives. Just like going out to eat, people rarely give good rep out to the place, but if its screwed up, they tell everyone. Glad that you are spreading the word on a good one.

It is in the database now, when they run your drivers license or license plate number it comes up. It has not been published, but it is available to law enforcement.

Don't do that. I know you guys mean well, but if the officer's supervisor doesn't care for him expressing that particular opinion you may just as easily get him in trouble as get him an attaboy.

This, unfortunately...

I talked to this officer long enough to find out he knows a couple of other local officers that are customers of mine.
He also knows one officer on the same force that I went through High School and boot camp with.

I did't get his badge number, but I did get his name, and that I won't forget.

Most of you don't know me. There are one or two on these boards that have met me.
I've been accused of resembling Osama Bin Laden. I've also been told I resemble almost everyone on "Duck Dynasty". I've not seen the show. Maybe I should give it a look.
My point here is, I'm NOT a "clean-cut, all-American jock" looking type of individual. I more closely resemble someone you might see mothers pulling their children away from. "Hells Angels" look?

Anyway, I get attitudes and side-ways looks from a lot of people in the general public. Law enforcement almost always seem to scrutinize me a little closer than others. Call it profiling. I expect it.

This was just one more facet of today's meeting that made it unique, and enjoyable.

Maybe it had something to do with the circumstances of the encounter. I was called there to "help" by removing a deer from the road-side after-all. I wasn't pulled over for an infraction, or reported as a suspicious character.
Still, by the gentleman's demeanor, I like to think he was just a truly nice guy, who seemed to want to chat.

 

[ddavidson]

You were awake for all of this weren't you?

 

[Hammerhead]

Everyone should give him the INGO clap.

I don't want that. And if you have it, there's medication for it.

Only 22 more.

Boo, OP!

You should have at least bought him breakfast or a coffee.

My firstv thought was this Officer must not be an INGO member or he would have a sore arm from patting himself on the back.

 

[Mark 1911]

A breath of fresh air. I'd like to shake that officer's hand!

 

[Tinner666]

Glad to hear of this. I've heard the same from a few LEO's here too. Common the further south you go. If the movement would just continue to grow up north, it'd be great.

Call his boss and praise him
