right on :) I come from the USMC(retired now), my uncle was a cop in Tennessee during rodney king getting his ass unjustly kicked my racist cops decades ago ya know?

My grandfather was army, my dad was navy. My landlord is a retired black dude a few years older than me.

Not sure what i'm saying but maybe it's that, everybody comes from every background in the military and the police force; and it really is just a public service to maybe check up on somebody in the neighborhood and see if there's anyways we can help, right?

There's a catch though, alot of travelers in need of help are reluctant to seek help if they have warrants, dogs, kids. and are reasonably afraid of contacting, hell, ANYBODY for help sometimes.

I've been in spots where i've had a warrant out for me and knew it. felt in a tight spot, etc.

Long story short. Wherever you live, even if you're like me 2 years ago, talk to an officer or a anybody. I had a warrant out for me for a parole violation from a dui, but I was in the hospitable and 3 weeks into treatment. Show effort.

Treat everybody as you'd want to have your son/daughter treated by strangers :)
