sorry, long post, and i dont get online everyday to respond quicker. i didnt know this would be controversial, i was just looking for advice. just so you know, i dont know any killen pd or florence pd for that matter. ive never gotten a ticket or been to court. i was not trying to speak badly of anyone. i know most of these guys work hard for their pay and protect our streets. i am usually very passive and thats why i asked. maybe this guy was usually super nice, volunteered, a1 cop, and just having a bad day. i give everyone the benefit of the doubt. to the gentlemen who asked about the badge: the guy asked if the cashier needed badge number, etc. and whipped out of his pocket and then got id out. he also said when he was growing up he never showed id for checks or to buy alcohol. the cashier even showed him she could not bypass the system by trying it in front of him with the screen turned to him. so... here's the update: after reading the first couple of posts and speaking with my husband, i decided to call the store and speak with the manager. the mgr got a statement from me, a desription, my receipt id with the date and time, and a statement from the cashier and her supervisor, whom had already spoken to the mgr about the situation. the security team was supposed to look the guy up on their cameras and follow up from there. the mgr said if it was someone on a one time thing, usually they ask them to leave the store. if it repeats again, they will escort him out permanently and speak with the appropriate people. everyone was really nice about it. i know some of you will probably beat me up about my decision, but like my granny said "everybody gets ONE". i hope if i act that way someone would give me the BOD. and am i scared of the police, going to them? honestly, yes, but then again, just typing about things in this forum scared me to death. im a pansy
i thought i could ask people for some direction because sometimes things that seem big arent. i didnt know my integrity would be at stake. i dont understand why some people think i would lie about something so serious as someones career and means of life. i apologize if i offended anyone affiliated with the police dept. that was not my intention. and if Mr. Mark/Terry do read these forums, i welcome their comments as well.
