The Downside and Upside of the Job

We were reading the local police page today with much interest, because there seemed to be a lot more crime over the holidays. One guy was listed in there three times, two times of intoxication if I recall and problems associated with it, and also his car hit a post, driver unknown. Another guy was listed a couple times.

There were two incidences that involved arrestees resisting arrest, spitting or attempting to spit at the police, and trying to kick out the window of a police car. Two!

It makes me think the police have a harder job than it looks like. But a good job. Because if it weren't for criminals like these guys, they wouldn't have a job. So much. So look on the bright side. The same guy who spits on you today is signing your paycheck tomorrow.
