March 31, 2011, was Lt. Steve Rose's last post on "View from The Cop" Steve is a member of the Atlanta, Georgia, Police Department. I guess he's got other things going (go to the link and check out his "other blog offerings" from the AJC .. maybe he's not there).
I just discovered Steve's almost-daily blog last year, and while I haven't been the most faithful of daily readers, I'm glad I found him before he found it no longer viable to continue the blog.
As a farewell Gift, Steve wrote about 20 life lessons. Here are just a few of them.
Wise man, our Wild Irish Rose. I shall miss him.
11. If you have a gun, clean it and go practice with it. If you can’t do that, sell it to someone who will.
12. Don’t give crooks credit they don’t deserve. They’re morons and have no honor. They steal from you, me, their own families and anyone who leaves the opportunity for them to commit crimes.
13. You will NOT make millions from a land baron in a small foreign country. Banks will not request you send personal info on your email to keep your account from suddenly being frozen. Read up on scams.
14. Be politely skeptical. Don’t be afraid of asking questions, but do buy the Girl Scout cookies — no questions asked.
15. Call the police when you see something suspicious. Most arrests are a result of a suspicious resident making a 911 call.
