These so called "bad apples" however tend to move on and find work elswhere - it is amazing.


This guy Butler had many chances to have a better outcome - but above all, he couild have called somebody...

I mention all this because this hit very close to home for me 3 years ago -

Mitch, "spot on' re: bad apples. My job is to pick them.
But reading the thread, I recall the role player was back in the police car, he couldn't hear what was going on, because of the chatter on the police radio. I think he mentioned the Deputy was calling for back up at the point he got the bag? I could be wrong, but I seem to recall that amongst the facts,



Just to continue with the Hijack

Jason worked with me at Nokia in Fort Worth - we were on a quality team, had the same boss and shared the same office area. - his desk was 10 feet from mine. He was a free living, young guy, who drove a Jeep with a cavis top and without doors, all year round. We never knew he was such a drinker though.

He died about 9:30 on a Saturday morning all he was wearing when he was shot and killed was a pair of red baithing truncks, no shoes or shirt, noothing. But he was drunk - been partying all night and was not going to stop just because the sun came up.

The officer was about 5' 4" - Jason was just shorter than me and I'm 5' 10".

I know that our department was so stunned by this that little or no work was done that week following. There is so much more to this - on the back side, but I won't go into it - it is not relevent. But again - it did not have to happen. the officer should have been better trained - drunk people deserve to get locked up - not shot and killed.

Sorry for the continued Hijack.

Mitch,
I am sorry you lost your friend.
