Just got off an 11 hour shift as a leo. Tonight everyone was crazy. Dont know what is up but dealt with more nut bags than I have sense SF 20 years ago. One guy had been spoken to by god said he was a prophet and the end is here. One nut rammed some citizen in their car twice and then did not remember it. Thought she was DUI until we got the lab report back. Nope nothing on board.
Fedor, see what happens when you don't put a nickel in the Keep the nuts away from me! slot. Glad you got home safe, but check outside they may have followed you........ GB
Sometimes you feel like a nut--sometimes you don't--remember the Peter Paul ad. These folks must have been eating the Almond Joys---lol.
Work wise , and stay out of harms way. When the $$ are tight ALL OVER , Handicapped to Mental health folks are released and can cause confusion with there antics , Pets or critters are a mental conversation that could help in figuring out the mind set I have seen. LEO , third worst job on the planet. Be safe , calm , courteous & curiousness helps. Sloth
Hey we got a new one who just showed up about three days ago it is a large dark black lady wearing white pantyhose and going out into the middle of the road stopping traffic and praying. I do have to say the fruit loops have came out from every direction for about the past three weeks. Plus the regulars have had a spike in activities, We have one who claims to be a knight of God and all Deputies are the knights of the Devil. I just told him he had it wrong the city officers are the evil devils. I know it wasn't right but he took his crusade in to city limits and I got to handle a few other calls. But I owe them anyway they drop the old drunks on us all the time outside of city limits.
I really don't think you have seen the worst yet. I think as 12/21 draws nearer you will be seeing more of these incidents. I recall Y2K and some literally lost their marbles from fear of the unknown. I truly think as times draw nearer and the media throws fuel to the fears of some, we will see a breakdown. A person of religion told my children that the world was going to end on 12/21. Now if complete strangers will do this to children then breakdowns are going to occur.When people think they have nothing to lose because life is going to end, you will have horrendous incidents.
If I knew some Religious Yahoo had told my Children, or Grandchildren, "The World was going to End on 12/21/2012" I would be having a "Chat" with that idiot, and set him "STRAIGHT", about what I expect from Him, and his roll in my families Religious Affairs. Preach the Word, as he see's it, FINE. Preach Peace, and Scripture, FINE. Spouting His Personal BS, NOT EVER. Interpreting Scripture, Not for Me and Mine, EVER. Getting between Me and Mine, and our GOD, He had better NEVER deal with US, again, or suffer MY Wrath. ......
