Unarmed robbery today

[Swimmer]

So I said to the new kid, part-time reserve officer, five tour Irag veteran, NO HIGH SPEED CHASES WITH THE SUV, this morning when I tell him what I want him to do at roll call, because its unsafe at any speed over 50 m.p.h. Basically I want the new guy to take his time. Always ask when your not sure about anything to do with police work, especially when I am the O.I.C.

I have known this kid since he was seven years old. He is my nephews best friend.

First call of the day, 9:02 a.m. mother/son robbery team try thier best robbing my 7-11. We caught them because of great witnesses who decided to participate. Needless to say you have no choice about going after bad guys when the friekin buffoons drive right by you just after I give out the plate and type of vehicle. One of the sedans was right there also, and that officer actually pulled in front of the robbers when they decided not to go down the street in front of the police station. But thats the story of my life, lecture the kid about not driving fast and right out of the gate, on mother's day this heroin addict mother and son rob our 7-11. They were actually id'd from our arrest as doing a bank robbery the other day in the next town. Wearing the same clothes still a week later.
