Magnum should definitely not wear sunglasses. Those eyes alone are saying: "Frack with me and you're done deal!"

ACtually, Magnum, you look very similar to a buddy of mine. He was Special Forces and I always feel very safe around him. Last summer we were driving around in Bamberg, Germany and I was keeping exactly to the speed limit, because of all the radar controls, when this ahole in a SUV keeps honking at me. At the next stop light he pulls up next to us my side and starts screaming at me, because according to him I was holding up traffic. My buddy was sitting in the passenger side, so he couldn't see him. After a couple of seconds of ranting, he leans forward and says rather calmly in that booming voice of his: "Is there a problem?". The ahole hits the accelerator and runs the light in total panic...I never laughed so hard in my life

Whoa, English bulldog for a K9.

Dude, that's a German Shepard.

No, man, the one in the uniform...



Great picture! Gotta love the whole mugshot effect.

All that's missing is an ugly neck tatoo, change the uniform for a biker jacket and yeah, not someone to bring home to show mom!

Yeah but could you see him with a Trooper hat on, shiny sunglasses leaning over a car doing his best Buford T. Justice voice!

'You were doing 58 in a 55 zone. Your in some big trouble now Boy.'

I don't think there would be any failure to communicate there.

I gotta come down there to visit the next time I go to visit the folks in Punta Gorda.

And like Magnum, I'm the opposite of how I seem.

Damn women! They change you man! Suddenly I'm writing poetry, songs, and a book about my life!
Think I need to go back in the army! I feel like Stallone did in "Demolition Man", at least I ain't started knitting yet......

AJ.

You probably have the most polite in-laws of us all, Mag.

pfunk

my in-laws all talk german... so we don't talk... lucky for me.



Laugh... I love those movies, most of us cops do... hell i have that DVD... funny movie... most cops are fun, light on life... it's the few that give us bad names that take offense to cop comedy movies... from what I've found.

what shows i can't stand is COPS... "I joined the force to help people"... BS... most become a cop because were alpha males, can't stand desk or office jobs, and just want some excitment... I became a cop to put dirtbags in jail, and to get in car chases, (of course our new chief has banned all pursuits, so just don't stop in Naples and then we have to do a U turn and go the other way, really)... helping people is great, but it's a side reward to most cops.

I don`t see any difference from last years photo.

Amen.

Or, like my buddy, "Hell, the pay ain't great but it's steady, you get to stay up all night, and the coffee is free."

He's actually a great guy that really goes out of his way to help people, and takes his job very, very seriously.

what you talkin about willis... I don't think i ever showed a real picture of me, till today... lol...

Hows this for comparaison... 15 years ago when I was a rookie cop, (after 10 years in the Army as a MP thou)... a lot has changed in 15 years... lol:

You look like you're impatiently waiting for the flash to go off. "I thought they said three and the flash would go off."

1... 2... 3... 4... 5..poof!


I kind of wonder what would happen if you were to pull over a forum member. If I accidently make a right on red where it's not allowed and an officer (in this case you) from these forums pulled me over and I said "How are you doing Magnum?" I'd fully expect a ticket if I'm in the wrong, but I'd love to know how an officer would react.

I imagine it would feel like a surreal moment.

Haha, well that's some ID photo. I bet that guy plays games 18 hours a day and eats too much pizza.

That explains the change in appearance over those 15 years.

I am going to save this picture. The next time my almost 18 year old son gets into trouble, I am going to show him this and say that I am going to call this officer over to take care it.

Wait .... I just realized something. Wasn't it you who posted about his daughter in the building with that guy? Holy crap, that was either very brave or very stupid. That's what happens when you think with your little head.

I just finshed my poker book which details how to become a winner at the game, to win involves un-natural skills or behaviour that most of the public dont have.

It said, to succeed you have to be tight aggressive, only a few other areas are these skills required to such an ninth degree, those being a fighter pilot, and a police officer.

so off off off, next to no time ON....

You can see infinty in your eyes, how ever much they are paying you it should be more because you exemplify every thing a police officer should be, and the chracter or abilitys you have are not just professional outwardly per say but internally, internally your soild in what is a highly unusual mix of skills, inteligence, chracter, situational awareness, the ability to carry a force of nature, and that force is needed.

You sir are awesome.

If the public spent a few minutes to think about how precious people like you are, you can't make people like you, they might last a year maybe longer but quality is quality.


I think you should take great care of yourself, were all only human and your job must put you in a lot of presure, its helpfull that at least most of your job has guideliness and rules I hope, so that way you can just do the job and concentrate on what you like doing.

Making sure that the law of the land is applyed and that life, love, and happyness can rain true amoungst good fokes and that includes you.



bud

I think if I was your daughters boyfriend I'd be peeing my pants and asking the good lord for protection right about now.

WOW yuo just scared the crap outta my dog, he's cowering in the corner. A warning in the title next time please

Thats a cool picture (has that Hannibal Lecter feel about it. a candidate for a poster boy I think. Might make the crime figures drop a bit
