How many of us have sat in our patrol cars and wondered, “When is someone finally going to design one of these things for the guy working the street, and not the guy paying the bills”? How many times have you thought to yourself, “If they would just let a cop design and build these things we may actually have a car worth spending 8,10, or 12 hours working in. The founders of Carbon Motors had those same thoughts, and created a vehicle that is truly “by cops, for cops.”

The BROTHERHOOD ...I Don't Give a Damn |
I took this job because of the benefits & a steady paycheck
By: JIM DONAHUE
"It's not like it used to be," laments one of your buddies over coffee. "We used to get together after the shift for a beer. We played softball together. We partied together. When someone had a big project at home, we all pitched in and helped get it done. These young kids just don't care anymore."

On Sheep, Wolves and Sheepdogs |
|
(From the book, On Combat, by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman)
"Honor never grows old, and honor rejoices the heart of age. It does so because honor is, finally, about defending those noble and worthy things that deserve defending, even if it comes at a high cost. In our time, that may mean social disapproval, public scorn, hardship, persecution, or as always, even death itself.
The question remains: What is worth defending? What is worth dying for? What is worth living for?"
- William J. Bennett
In a lecture to the United States Naval Academy
November 24, 1997 |
One Vietnam veteran, an old retired colonel, once said this to me: “Most of the people in our society are sheep. They are kind, gentle, productive creatures who can only hurt one another by accident.” This is true. Remember, the murder rate is six per 100,000 per year, and the aggravated assault rate is four per 1,000 per year. What this means is that the vast majority of Americans are not inclined to hurt one another.

American law enforcement is seeing a whole new phenomenon erupt in the drug enforcement business. Over the past several years the explosion of clandestine methamphetamine labs has forced us into a whole new way of thinking and the way we do our jobs. Drug enforcement in general has adapted over the years to keep up with those involved in the drug culture. Narcs no longer are just growing out their hair and buying drugs on our streets. We have become full-fledged investigators along with counselors, tactical officers, surveillance experts (just to mention a few) and now with the advent of the meth lab –“pseudo-chemists”. When I started my law enforcement career in 1991 I would have looked at you crossed eyed if you told me I needed to know what a catalyst was, what reaction mixture was and the dangers of chemicals like hydrogen chloride gas, anhydrous ammonia and organic solvents. But now I do know all these things and much more in the way of chemistry because I have to.
