Message: <blockquote data-quote="BillM" data-source="post: 4111313" data-attributes="member: 45785">That could work. I think the odds are against it, but it COULD work...I'm one of those who left Cali, but I left there in 1973, because I though I saw what was coming. Now I know I suffered an insufficiently cynical imagination. My grandpa was one of those who didn't like Okies. He was from Michigan, and met my grandma, who was a native Californian, in a logging camp during the Great Depression. I'm not at all sure why he thought going to Cali for a job back then was OK for him, but not for those Okies. I understand that I have relatives in Vienna, MO. My grandma's great grandparents were run out of town in the 1850's for being abolitionists. And my ex-wife, who was from NYC, visited them as a teenager. Then met me at Sheppard AFB a few years later. Found out we were distantly related a week before getting married, in 1974. TLDR. I've lived in various location in the southern half of the country for the first half of my adult life. And here for the rest of it. I've met cops in 7 different states, and lost count of how many cities. Most are good. Some are really poor. Used to have an honorary uncle who was a cop. Learned a lot about cops from him. He said that there were good cops and bad cops, and that good cops who didn't do anything about the bad cops were bad cops themselves. I've always though that cops should police themselves. But it doesn't really seem like it works that way. I wonder why that is?</blockquote>
