Dickiebo

Author Dickiebo describes himself as “an tired old ex-cop”. He paints a picture of the difference between being a police officer “in his day” and today. Dickiebo also explains in his blog Dickiebo that the police “back in the day” not only had none of today’s technology, but also had to pay for additional training themselves. “Now, I knew that I was never going to be a Hubert, and running was rather out of the question for an Officer of the Law, so I had to make a tough choice. Leave the Job? Out of the question. This was my entire life. Become a 9-5er? You clearly aren’t paying attention. The Police is my life, not a ruddy office job. Take up weight-lifting? Far too tough and takes too long. Boxing? Nah, I like my features, even if you don’t. So then I got it. Become a Police Marksman, and take-up Kung Fu. So, I did. I became a Marksman and I well remember my Instructor looking at my ’shoot’ saying, ‘You can come out with me any bloody time’. Step 1 completed.” The post is titled, Self-Defense for Police – For Us. The Rising Blogger is please to award the post of July 5, 2007 our Post of the Day!
