The Wild West Days

[efdcapt115 1,511]

Of Law Enforcement in Westchester.

The days before cameras caught your every action.

The days of comedy...humor.....seriousness...

I know the period of the early '80's.

Posted some in another thread.

There's got to be tons of retired cops that read this,

or guys here that post that have been on a long time,

the game sure has changed.

Davie L. one of the funniest cops I ever knew.

Drew open eyeballs on paper and stuck them inside his glasses,

while he was on the midnight desk watch.....snoozin' away waiting for a phone to ring.

I had to come in @6 AM.....up the side stairs to the "old desk"

Started Davie a few times, he was Vietnam and he almost drew down on me once coming from a deep sleep...

Ahhhh.....the greatest cops I ever knew....

the "action" never stopped...lol

Edit: This is a humor thread, not an offensive one, so don't nobody shoot the mechanic...

Mikey C. The Enforcer

Grew up bouncing at bars on Long Island.

Came to our place,

started a class a weight room,

with a steam bath thank you,

wore a great white north hunting cap in winter in uniform,

"don't call me unless I'm needed"

he'd be home on the portable waiting for the inevitable fight somewhere,

off he'd go in the unmarked car specially for him,

reach the offending party,

and if they needed it,

were choked by a bouncer who knew how to choke guys out if they became aggressive.

Fell down a flight of stairs,

had to leave his beloved PD,

carries a couple of '38s down south now,

still a big boy @ 260.

We laugh about stuff.

"The Duff"

Now this guy was slick.

Unmarked 47 or Sector 2.

NEVER wrote a ticket.

Strong SOB.

The girls adored him.

He used to slink around and always be in the right place at the right time.

The Duff.

These were the days of innocence "in a sense" because I'm writing about a period of time before the War on Terror, before the 9/11 attacks and subsequent madness of the world.

I'm writing about when cops and firemen knew the threat, it was domestic in nature, nobody ever had to think of "foreign interests" threats, or every single PD ending up with an ESU...

When there were less EDP's, less 24/7 cameras everywhere, less violence, less crime...

C'mon tis the season.....
