Have prisoners ever taught you anything?

Asked by Dan about 6 years ago

Not that I specifically recall, no. I am sure it happened, but just wasn't very noteworthy.

Why do so many people think Gorge Floyd was a race issue?

Asked by Parker about 6 years ago

A great many people only see RACE when you have negative interaction between White people and not-White people. Since they knew each other it is just as possible it was a personal issue, or even simply an asshole cop issue. But a lot of people get political power out of it being a race issue. (Plus maybe it was.)

Did you ever have a problem with your hand held radios. Ronald spotted some BS suspicious activity, Dave saw something you would never believe, Marlene is going to tell everyone what she is having for lunch today, Darrel is taking a bathroom break, Bobbi Sue is having her nails done, Bob saw something you would never believe it oh my gosh come check it out, Dan is just talking to hear himself talk and it goes on and on meanwhile you have a fight or something and you can’t get on the air. I mean there is a priority or emergency button but sometimes there are not emergencies but when you want to get on but people are just talking to hear themselves talk. Did you ever have that?

Asked by Lol almost 6 years ago

The radios we had when I left were 80 mghtz radios but did not have a priority circuit on them. There is, of course, not supposed to be a lot of BS traffic on the radios, they are supposed to be official business and not idle chitchat. Whoever is in charge should have something to say about obvious misuse of the system. .
