  'government' is not industry. Industry, a synonym for work, means to produce something of value. law enforcement, like most government positions, is a parasitic career. I was a prison guard, I know first hand what civil service skids are all about- they don't even want to do their easy and generously compensated jobs honestly- preferring to seek early fraudulent retirement. Now you sit in your duty station and create an internet site on government time. You ought to be ashamed, if you had a conscience.

Well gee Mike, if you think for a moment we do any of this on government computers on government time, you're a fucking moron. We aren't sure what the rules are in Pennsylvania, but they fire people for that here in Chicago. If you read our archives, which you obviously haven't, this is a hobby, a place for coppers to vent. We make no money, publish no ads, and spend maybe a couple of hours here all told moderating comments and getting the article submissions in place for the following day. It's like our very own personal printing press, subject only to our personal whims.

You also have absolutely no idea what policing and politics are like in Chicago. Our "duty station" is a 140,000 mile beat car with intermittent heat, one working wiper, no working computer and the smell of dead ass. Shame is barely in our vocabulary and we traded our consciences for half a case of whiskey 22 years ago.

Asshat.
