Thought with all the negative about LEOs I'd throw in an encounter I recently had.
I live on a road south of LC, we have a lot of idiots who like to race up and down the road, so I had my wife call the Sheriffs office (told her to say that we have young children and they might get hurt). It was the fastest response I have ever seen, 15 minutes, 4 patrol cars and 6 Deputies.
The Deputy that came to the door was very respectful (looked and carried himself like a young man just back from Iraq) talked with him for a moment about the idiots, the whole time he keeps glancing at my right side.
As we are talking another one approaches and I can see him un-snap as he walks up.
The first one is still at ease and proceeds to ask "Mind if I ask what you do for a living?"
I respond "Why do you ask?"
Deputy; "I noticed you're wearing a weapon and was curious if you might be private security or something."
Myself; "Nope just a stay at home Dad."
Deputy; "May I ask why you're wearing a gun?"
Myself; "It's personal."
Deputy; "Oh, ok."
They departed, one cruiser parked across the road, lights out and 10 minutes later a car goes by him, he pursues and 5 cruisers stop the car 2 blocks down.
They end up arresting 4 punks, search the car with dogs and tow the car.
Haven't seen that car out here since and we now have Deputies patrolling at least once a day.
