What is the value of nice?



That is a very good question. I do not have an answer.

I can't say why anyone ever would pay attention to Dawkins on any subject whatever.



As usual, you would be wrong.... embrace the failure...

Are getting any rest EB?



I'm six hours into my seventh consecutive day of 12 hour shifts. Tomorrow isn't too bad, I'm working 22:00 to 3:00 and then should be able to take a night off.

This week alone I have logged 28 hours of overtime.

Oddly though, this morning I slept better than I have in months.

Calm. No incidents related to the rioting in quite some times....there have been protests and people showing up randomly at large businesses to gather and give voice but that's fine. The thinkng was that either the smoke was clearing or we were in the eye of the storm, and even those who thought things were going to boil over again are now saying it looks like the destruction and violence has more or less come to a close.

I do think everything that has happened, both here and in New York, has been sort of a perfect storm of things that will lead to a pivotal time in law enforcement management and I think ultimately that's a good thing. There will always be room for improvement and the fact of the matter is, one crooked cop is too many. And there will always be more than one, so it's an ongoing process.

I'm resting easier now though. I think most of us are on both sides of the issue.
