Chapter Nine

[take_theride]

Good evening, city. I need you all to help explain something for me. I've acquired all of the information I can, and I've been rolling it over and over in my head since the weekend. It just doesn't make senseSo here we are in the "city". Many of us have been here for some time. Me, personally, about 5 months or so. I didn't really think it through

I don't know what the $@&* city you're livin' in, but I file reports, investigate, an' make arrests regardin' robberies among other $#*! every goddamn day. Those "good $@&*ing Samaritans", as you call 'em, have started riots at the drop of a hat in my recollection. Last month I arrested a guy was breakin' into old ladies' apartments dressin' as a mail man, how &@%**ed up is that? Well here's how %#&*ed up it is: that ain't even close to the most &#%*ed up thing I see in a &$*#ing week.

So here's a grand ol' idea, pal. You c'mon down to the station and you file my paper work.

WOULD THAT &$@*ING HELP YOU &$@*ING FIGGER OUT WHAT THE &$@* IS GOING ON???

You can &$@*ing suck my *#%&.

Alright you fucking queer, I've had enough. You can curse at me but don't you fucking give her any shit just because you're a fucking failure and you have no one else to take it out on.

[shockheadedpete]

But she's got no problem with your language, I notice...

[take_theride]

That's because I'm a nice guy.

[shockheadedpete]

It's because she's a hypocrite.

Mr. Duke doesn't use the words every other word like you were doing. Besides, there's a difference between cursing for emphasis and cursing just because.

[shockheadedpete]

He cussed more than me.

[hisforonehour]

You were cursing at Mr. Duke, though.

[shockheadedpete]

He was cussin' at my officers.

[hisforonehour]

Maybe he's got a point! How many cops are there? Something's weird and Mr. Duke knows it! If you're understaffed then just hire more people! Use incentives! There's gotta be a way to hire more people, you just don't know it or are too lazy to figure it out!

[shockheadedpete]

Like I say. To everybody. If you give such a damn, why ain't you on the force?

[hisforonehour]

I'm a 25 year old girl with no idea about the law who can't shoot a gun. My greatest accomplishment is being one of the top two on a reality show. I already work night hours at the clinic.

That's why I'm not on the force.

[shockheadedpete]

We got plenty of females on the force.

Twenty-five ain't young. I was a cop when I was twenty-five.

We got plenty of folks on the force that didn't know about policin' before they joined.

See how "just hire more people" is nice words that don't come so easy into action?

[ajrimmer_ssc]

Ignore him, Lynda dear. He's skipped his daily dose of doughnut.

[hisforonehour]

Yes sir, Mr. Rimmer.

[shockheadedpete]

You $&@* off too. You were some big space military muckity-muck an' now you work at the DMV? Are you a chicken or just a liar?
