One of my very good friend’s cousin is SFPD. We always played poker on Friday night back in the days and he came over few times to play with us. We asked him what the most dangerous situation he was in was. He told us this story that sounded similar.
There were calls into the police every night about some guy in Sunnydale Projects(a VERY DANGEROUS PROJECT in the city) coming out every night at around 9:30 PM unloading about 30 rounds into the air for the past week. He and 3 other officers, one male and 2 females were walking near the complex that the shots were reported coming from. He told us they heard the shots and as he was running – he was thinking to himself “damn… I might be goner if I turn this corner”. He told us he turns his head around just to see where his backups were… only the male cop was directly behind him… the 2 female cops were no where to be seen. After they did turn the corner the guy had already gone back inside, I forgot if they finally did catch the guy…. he didn’t tell us his opinion about females being cops.
We took his money…. he lost about $1500 playing with us 3 or 4 times and never came back.
she mentioned the guy was only a cop for like 2 years and sounded like they were friends but after that incident, he apologized and she cut him off and said they arent' friends anymore
i was just trying to maybe help her understand that cutting off his friendship just based on that incident may have been a little too harsh. not that i dont' understand where she is coming from, but i know some people who are great friends, but they are wussies. now if i was in a situation where i may have to throw down, i wouldnt' count on them to help me, but that don't mean they are any less of a friend necessarily, that's all. i wouldn't judge someone's friendship too much only based on the size of their cajones, not everyone has that, i can't blame someone for not putting their life on the line for me. but that person that can't do that, should not be a cop, which is what i was saying, it's not for everyone and apparently not for that guy in her story
