Do you get mad when people you went to school with laugh at you because the guy they use to all mess with is now enforcing the law?

Where do you stand on civil asset foreiture?


Depends.

Should an old Vietnam vet retiree who sells a little bud on the side to supplement his retirement have everything he’s earned, legally, taken from him because he’s selling a plant he can grow on his own land?


Well I would tell the vet thank you for his service. But it depends. Is the vet selling dime bags here and there or pushing ounces to pounds? But generally speaking. I’m not a big fan of it, unless you can prove without a doubt the assests were obtained from selling illegal stuff. The system abuses it.

I can’t speak for other states outside of Minnesota. Most agencies here don’t care if you have marijuana. Just don’t smoke and drive.

I’ll tell folks if you’re gonna smoke, be smart and smoke in your home. Don’t piss of the neighbors with the smell and don’t drive. You’ll be alright.

Why do you continue to be a cop, especially considering today's environment?

How much $ do you make?


Roughly between 65-75k with some overtime. Could be more if someone worked 60+ hours a week. Also will be more after promotion.

No.

So you’re admitting y’all have quotas?

Next question. How do you cope with the fact that arresting someone for simple drug possession often ruins people’s lives, at least for the foreseeable future, even more so than the drug itself.

I'll bite: what is your opinion / experience with the some 20% of police officers who are ex-military?

Followup question in advance: I've seen the phrase "militarization of the police force" thrown about; mostly regarding fancy -- and expensive -- vehicles and other hardware that some jurisdictions seem to favor.

No bias in this question, other than it seems that the smaller the city/county, the more noise is made when they get a cool new $$$ toy.

What's your take?

And thank you for your service.

Thank you, as well.

Do you think weed should be legal?


Yes and no. It’s hard because I don’t want to see it abuses as alcohol. Meaning people driving and killing folks. But if you toke up after work before bed at your house. I could care less.

Seatbelt wearing? Are you going to watch App State in the bowl game tonight?


Wear your seatbelt. I have seen people get ejected and it’s not pretty. Death notifications suck.

But I won’t be able to watch any games today. Will be at work.

Are you in inner city M-SP or in the suburbs or rural?

Different questions depending on what beat you work.

You addressed this to me...I do handyman work so I guess some electrical, roof work...I walked the top plate on a 2 x 4 wall, 3 stories up carrying a beam. I shot myself with a nail gun once.

Let's keep this to the police though, ok?

The legality of weed does not prevent this from happening, and never ever has.

I always worry if it’s the same bully from high school doing it.

I have about 19 years left. But I’m fairly relaxed and just approach each call as it comes.

Have you ever gone rogue?


Depends. Have I done something most wouldn’t or broken a policy that benefits the community or victims. I’m sure.

Why are most cops douchebags?


Cops usually fall into three categories.

-ex military
-people who want to help and have fun
-people picked on in high school/college
