- "Been There- Done That"- And Both Won And Lost By My Actions

A1C Medrick "Rick" DeVaney - In over 40 years of full time Police work I've had to make split second decisions and some were better than others.

You sure have to careful but don't lose total control by an complete overreaction by not thinking at all or letting them get to You.

LMBO-- That's Probably Happened to Most Of Us.
From Major Decisions To Hitting Our Thumb With A Hammer.
Then As We Look Back And Say To Ourselves: "Well, That's One More
To Chalk Up As Of My Stupid Moves"

But Perhaps Not In Government Where We Can Blame Someone Else For The Failures & Take The Credit For The Successes. -
