Covering #SgtMattRatana today. He’d have been day shift with us. I was gonna repay him for breakfast he got me last week... after he tackled me in the suite and said “Come on XL, bring it in, you need a custody cuddle!” ☺️

“A shit day only lasts 24 hours” The last thing my friend told me. I called him for a lift in spirit after a tough day we shared in custody. People who know me know I don’t reach out to people like that. But he was counsel to me. Someone I’d trust with my life. Many of us would.

Plenty of abuse from public & twitter for patrolling and - Having an iced tea on duty - Doing too much to look after a juvenile - Robustly dispersing a drunk crowd - Preserving life - Apparently not giving two hoots - Being a black officer - Not being black enough Still proud.

On aid and I turn into a side street up town to see cops on foot patrol. One looks remarkably like the Commissioner?! “Ah Mr XL!” She says. 😁 The boss was patrolling with local DWOs. No fanfare, no audience, just coppering. Frontline and with her people, to the very end. 👏👮🏻
