Are you the one who's gonna stand up and be counted?.

Are you the one who's always ready with a helping hand?

Crikey, Clarrie picking up Tex does lead to some interesting places.

As a young fella I avoided the police and kept out of their eye.  Not hard as i was no trouble.  Recently my stepson had an absolute episode and came to the attention of the police. And the courts.  Can I just say that what was a difficult time for the family ended well.  The police were fantastic.

 

I have a son who, through no fault of his own (not a story for the internet), thought he had no choice but to rebel and hang out with the tough kids in his high school years. He got into drugs early, way too early and I spent many nights driving around the mining town we lived in looking for him after he went missing for the umpteenth time.

Lost count of the times I'd be driving around town, half [censored] on my days off, and every conversation with the local police was the same. "We know where he will be, go home (my name) and we make sure that he is ok"

Could have arrested my [censored] for drink driving, but let me go every single time, because they knew I was only looking out for my troubled young fella.

Most cops are awesome people. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

Whilst it agree with my sense of sportsmanship and fair play I still remember Justin Madden getting traded from the Dons because he was seen smiling hours after a loss.

How the times have changed.

Gee Langers would have been trouble in those days
