[quote=Gunslinger]Like it or not bearishgurl is spot on. Great summary of the situation there mam'[/quote]
Gunslinger, if I was as accomplished of a “profiler” as you, I’d be a multi-millionaire by now! For the first half of my “illustrious career, “I was one of those local gubment “grunt workers” who got all your reports after the fact, sorted through the (often) graphic photos you took, subpeonaed you to court and then called you off when the def copped a plea.
For the second half of my “career,” I prepared all the documents for Pitchess hgs (to attempt to obtain YOUR personnel records) and prepared suppression motions and statements in mitigation, transcribed YOUR interviews with suspects and wits (where you bought them McD’s and gave them free cigarettes to get them talking and a box of tissue to keep them wailing while you recorded everything) and prepared various and sundry other court filings for the defense.
Although “semi-retired” now (if you can call it that, lol), I’ve walked on both sides of the fence and also balanced myself on top of that same fence. Although a bit hobbled by budget cuts in recent years, the justice system works ONLY because of the dedicated foot-soldiers who keep it running day to day. It DOESN’T MATTER which side of the fence they are working. Without BOTH SIDES of the fence working all day, every day, the system would collapse …. immediately.
I like your direct “spade is a spade” style, gunslinger. But you must know that Brian is really okay. He doesn’t mind pointing out the elephant in the room, which I appreciate. I finished a HUGE project the end of March and so had to drop out of coming to Pigg for awhile but I’m glad to see Brian’s refreshing posts are back here again!
