>Grandma showed 7News her scar from the teen snatching her keys. The
police report said the would-be-carjacker left the scene in an
ambulance, and Grandma said the teen is now in lockup."And they
said it’s a wonder he wasn’t dead," she said. "On 22nd Street? He must
didn’t know where he was. Nobody has seen this boy before."

I was trying to be fair to my neighbor, who is/was a cop. I've only spoken to him a few times in 8 years, but waved at him whenever we drove past each other. Seemed like a decent enough guy, still takes care of his grandkids full time.

This summer, I had noticed that his truck almost never left his driveway, and when it did, it was for short periods of time. I also knew that he was the most senior (longest tenure) officer in the force, so one day I asked him if he'd retired. Like, "hey, did you finally take a well-deserved retirement? Heh heh"

He responded with "maybe, not really, still working." I just remember thinking that it's been over 6 months since I saw him in uniform, what is he trying to hide from me? It's gotta be his instinctual lying, is all I can conclude.

Theirs a big difference between feds and locals however. Especially when it comes to government. Especially when it comes to the states. They both work for Uncle Sam I suppose, but they usually got different goals in mind.

A local government is more likely to have your best interests in mind as compared to the feds.

And discussing how my country works with people who aren't from here isn't self-absorbed.
