27 year old suicidal guy, ate a bottle of prescription pills. Changed his mind, barfed them up. Told us that he was a little down
because he had court date in a couple weeks and he knew he was going to get sentenced to five years’ incarceration in prison.

Shoplifter ran out of the Walmart with loss prevention security officer in hot pursuit. I get called, arrive quickly, and see the guy
running. I start driving in circles in the parking lot, lights on and siren blaring; people staring and running out of my way. Bad
guy is dodging and weaving and he dives under a car and hides, I lose sight of him. Idiot security guard finds him and instead of
quietly alerting me, he yelled and pointed at the bad guy, who then of course realized he needed to leave his spot so he got up
and ran while I was in the other part of the parking lot. Bad guy sprinted out of the parking lot, made it into the woods, and
totally got away. I had to point out to the security guard that the guy WOULD HAVE STAYED PUT under the car if the guard
had played it cool and not drawn attention to him.

I got dispatched to a disabled blocking vehicle on the highway in the rain. I arrive on the scene. The driver, a young woman
maybe 19 years old, explained she had run out of gas. I used the push bars on the front of my rig to push her car into a nearby
parking lot. I could have been an officer AND a gentleman and then given her a ride to the nearest gas station (she even had an
empty gas can with her) but as soon as she stupidly admitted this was the SECOND TIME she had run out of gas, I decided she
needed to learn the hard way and so she could walk there and back. Yes, in the rain. Did I feel bad about that? Nope. Not even
a tiny bit. Reminded me a bit of the time I got called to get into a locked car; the driver had locked his keys in there by accident.
I always asked people “Has this happened before?” and sometimes they say something like “yeah, and the passenger side door
th
lock is apparently easier to get than the drivers side,” but in this one case, the guy admitted “Ah, this is like the 5 time I’ve
locked my keys in my car.”

Me, trying to calm down a woman having a severely bad reaction to her psychotropic medication, when she grabs my hands and
presses to them to sides of her head. “Can you feel that in my brain?!?” She screamed at me. She then pressed my hands on her
neck, yelling “Can you feel that?!?” I decided at that point to take my hands back to myself before things got even weirder.
