It's now time for just the terror with Nick Guerra. I'm enjoying.

I'm in Joy.

Been seeing flags hung at half-mast more and more these days. I guess that makes sense.

I don't mean to sound like a pessimist. I just think when you have a specific kind of experience,

it's the way you tend to see things.

I've been a cop for what?

Damn near 30 years now.

It'll be 30 next June.

Signed up right after the hand of me my diploma and I never looked back.

Can't deny that there are a few bad apples.

Speaking from my own experience, most cops are decent enough folks.

I think what people don't realize and what most of us don't like to talk about too much is how we see the things most people don't.

It's a job not everyone is capable of doing. Some guys drop out in under a year

and none of us can really blame them.

Being a cop can fill your head with some heavy shit.

Most of us don't like talking about the things

that they're trying to forget.

Best way I can describe it is by saying most calls are like meals.

You might be able to recall the specifics for a couple of days,

but after enough time passes, it's just something you ate once upon a time.

Of course, there are some meals you remember for months, or even years after you've had them.

Usually it's because it was a damn good meal and you're glad you ate it.
