What a mess!

[Drew]

Sorry I haven't posted for a couple of days, been working 12 hour shifts since Tuesday. Baltimore is in a state of emergency. Our headquarters building is encircled with sand filled dump trunks with officers bearing machine guns, MP14's, at the entrance and "other places". We're guarding security threat buildings round the clock and the mood is somber with rage. You don't won't to mess with a police officer at the moment.... we’re all testy and our handcuffs are well oiled! [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]. It's a strange feeling. Rage and tears and more rage. We're sending a contingent of officers to NY to help with the rescue/recovery. Our Commissioner was a Deputy Commissioner with the NY PD and his heart is with them and broken. Do you believe that two calls were received by communications division yesterday proclaiming sightings of Bin Ladin? (1). He was seen in an undisclosed 7/11...(2) He was dining at The Helmond, a very nice Afghan Restaurant in the center of the city, I've eaten there several times. Intel Officers responded and the owner knew who called in the prank call. Armed with the jerk's name and address in Baltimore County, we responded and LOCKED HIS A** UP!!! we've had about enough of prank calls. I hope everyone is doing ok. These are difficult times and my thoughts are with those and what makes me smile...one of those is this board.
