[Pete stands in front of his desk. His facial expression is accurately displayed in his icon.]
This is for all y'all who seem to think we cops don't do nuthin'.
[Pete gestures to a pile of paperwork on the floor. It's nearly as tall as he is, and Pete is not a short man.]
This's my booking reports for the past...two an' a half weeks. Let's take us a look at a one or two.
[Pete wiggles his fingers, and pulls a folder, at random, out of the middle of the pile, which wobbles but does not fall down. He scans the contents of the folder.]
Here we got: two arrested in a Saturday night robbery an' stabbin'.
[Pete tosses that folder on to the top of the pile and reaches for another.]
This is a lady that ran a red, refused to produce I.D., got physically abusive, and turned out to have 3 warrants out an' a brick of coke in her purse.
[Another, and...]
Guy robbed a sandwich shop with a raygun. Tried to take the manager hostage, but we got to him first.
Twenty-seven grams of heroin, an' that's all I'll say about that.
Three males on home invasion/attempted robbery. Same home.
Intoxicated woman passed out at a playground where her toddler was playin'. Woman had a failure to appear an' was disregardin' rules of custody agreement.
Oh, here's a fun one: guy took a girl out to a nice restaurant downtown, then followed her to the ladies', forced his way in with her, bashed her head against the sink until she blacked out an' raped her. And we had multiple women comin' forward with similar stories since he been in custody.
[Pete slams that last folder shut and throws it back on the pile.]
Hope this little sample's been informative for you.
