Or the one where my maw-maw got mad at my paw-paw at the dinner table, threw a fork at him and embedded it in his forehead. God, my dad tells that story and, although I have heard it a thousands times, it still cracks me the hell up.

FYI - didn't do serious damage, just left an interesting scar.

Is standing with your hand on your pistol the policeman's equivalent of playing with your balls?

At my Catholic school it was guilt and shame.

This link was forwarded to me by a fan. I very much appreciate the kind words that some have shared here. I am just a humble man, a 17 year street cop. I have been highly decorated through the years, and although I'm an 11 year SWAT operator, my foundational mission is to encourage compassionate police service and strict observation of constitutional rights. I do my best with these Crime Stoppers priductions. I am not an actor, and I use no scripted lines. I speak from my heart. Yes Ma'am, these productions are successful. Our CS is #1 in the world, running a 70-80% solve rate and viewed more than markets like Atlanta, Dallas, and NYC. Further, so far this year, 13 men and one woman gave turned themselves in within hours or days of the CS airing featuring their crime. 14 children of God, all facing felony charges, all presented themselves peacefully to authorities. We shall stay the course. Captain Clay Higgins

I was speaking directly to Abaddon, the fallen, stealer of souls. I'm not familiar with metal bands. Captain Clay Higgins

My stance is one of two standard patrol postures. One rests the gun hand on the holster and the free hand on the belt, the other rests the gun-side elbow on the holster. Each position includes a martial "L" stance and each is designed to orient the officer to his primary side arm. Martial, open hand responses to attack are trained from these positions. The second posture, wherein the gun-side elbow rests on the holster, is called the "interview" position. Both postures have helped many officers retain their weapon when initially attacked. About 500 cops each year are killed by gunfire, most with their own weapon. Playing with my balls is generally not something I do on duty. Captain Clay Higgins

It kind of reminds me of the Cialis advertisement "Sooner or later you can be ready when the moment is right" And while I'm in a mood to customise another analogy, If you've always got your hand on your hammer, every interviewee looks like a nail.
