June19 cadets

‘It’s not the will to win that counts but the will to prepare to win that counts.’Ok, this is a line from a sign up promo for the LAPD cadets program .At 15 your kids can become police cadets . A course that opens up career prospects for the police force and also it provides partial scholarships into college . Why ?At this age does your kid really know the boundaries from right and wrong . Will to win . Ha? Some kids over here have got the right and wrong mixed up with the will to win . As I’ve previously stated you do not get into a high speed pursuit, and when caught , as on every occasion so far , you better believe in god and hope you don’t get turned into a sieve.Another pursuit and shoot out . Yeah seen it most days on the news here . This time it was 3 kids who decided it was a good idea to steal a police car and then play starsky and hutch before being rammed ,cornered then sprayed with bullets.Surprise ,surprise they were captured alive . Turns out they were cadets that pinched keys for the patrol car and compound . Obviously these kids didn’t get to the shoot to kill part of the program . They decided for some reason that they might be able to have some fun with there trainers and win this little life and death pursuit against the LAPD with helicopter and media in tow. They were 15 years old .From police cadets to juvy or even jail awaits their fate. I better not put Tex in this course.
