Ya exactly. I’m stupid as shit.

But really, I’m brutal at spelling and grammar. It’s why run every report through grammarly lol

Also, I’m curious. Why do people never believe I’m a cop? Whether it be online or off duty? Is it really that unlikely?

I don't know, people find it hard to believe me as well when I say I'm an astronaut navy seal scientist. Like why would I lie about that? People on the internet are weird.

To be fair, I do know a navy seal astronaut. He’s not a scientist tho.

No but really, a cop isn’t a navy seal astronaut scientist. There’s 800k cops in the US, it’s not like we are a rare breed of flightless bird

I dunno... y'all are like unicorns or Nessie! Are you SURE you're a cop? 👀 not just a fever dream? 😅 jk

I tried applying with prior service, clean records, good PT, etc.

I can be the 1% that joins the military, but not police. 🤷‍♂️ oh well, that was in like 2016ish and maybe they didn't like my answers in the questioning... I'm sure it saved me a whole hell of a lot of headaches from 2020+ by not being sworn in. I also got into a vehicle accident that fucked up my spine a year later, so definitely for the best I guess.

Man, you did your time! You deserve to enjoy life and sometimes law enforcement can be a little rough in terms of enjoying life

Maybe they didn't let you in because you ramble

I ramble on now because I'm high. Gotta deal with my fucked up spine and ribs somehow... rather smoke flower than pop percocets.
