I just wanted to point out..."crazy" people are Everywhere and no matter all the steps and precautions a company, a department, a squad take..the crazies get thru! Personally, I went through a written test, verbal test, 2 board interviews, extensive background check, 10 references called, ALL work history verified, fingerprinted, polygraphed, drug screen (hair), drug screen (urine), a physical, a fitness test, firearms training, taser training, pepperspray training (and yes, I was tased AND sprayed) , and a 3 month long academy...AND I elected to become CIT certified.....do you know any other profession this thorough?

So let me tell you about the Back Page, 2 paragraph article in todays paper that reads: soldier shoots off duty cop. Happened in Colorado yesterday. Yes, one of our military soldiers sat as a Bait, pretending to be stranded, and shot an OFF duty officer who stopped to offer help and killed him. This officer did Not have to stop, he Chose to because he is a good guy, he honored his badge..and what did he get? A small little article on the back page, I'm sure that will bring his family comfort at night.

See...not all "crazies" can be weeded out...even in our military
