EVERY NOW AND THEN I BECOME A KID AGAIN AND GET NOSTALGIC....

AS long as no-one gets hurt in the process it is alright to fantasise -- and in this case when I talk about the neighbourhood POLICE OFFICERS I AM sure that A lot of people are either agog or in a dead swoon with me -- I see this man and I love him -- there is no way to describe this other than that -- HAD I BEEN YEARS YOUNGER AND HIS JOB NOT BEEN SO HARD AND IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE OUT THERE -- ESPECIALLY IN THE COMMUNITY I WOULD HAVE STOPPED AND HAD A CHAT TO HIM ABOUT HOW I ACTUALLY FEEL ABOUT WHO HE IS -- AND WHAT he does for us as a community ----------

I think that the men and the women from the SAPS ARE GREAT AND I like to talk to them, I see them out there as today -- SAPS ALEXANDRA DRIVING PAST ME CARS FLYING PAST ME FROM THE BRAMLEY SAPS AND THE OTHER STATIONS AS WELL, NORWOOD SAPS AND HILLBROW AND YEOVILLE AND JHB CENTRAL -- CRIME COMBATTING GAUTENG AND JHB -- DOG UNIT THERE ARE ALWAYS DOZENS OF POLICE OUT THERE -- BUSILY DOING THEOR JOBS -- SOMETIMES THE STOP AND TALK TO YOU -- SOMETIMES THEY ARE TO BUSY DEALING WITH SITUATIONS --- ONLOUIS BOTHA AVENUE THERE WERE POLICE OUT THERE YESTERDAY AGAIN --- WATCHING HELICOPTERS UP AND ALL OVER THE PLACE DIFFERENT ONES -- THE ROAD COLLAPSE IOSEBANK -- LOTS OF POLICE AND FIREMEN AND OTHER PEOPLE

THERE AS WELL...IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN A SEISMIC EVENT AND THEY WOULD HAVE HAD TO WORK -- TO DEAL WITH THE SITUATION AS IT OCCURS AS THEY ALWAYS DO....................................................................................EMT/EMS AMBULANCE MEN AS WELL AS LEOS FROM EVERYWHERE ALWAYS GOING PAST YOU IN ONE DIRECTION OR ANOTHER -- MEDICS AND POLICE ALWAYS OUT THERE DEALING

WITH MANY THINGS AS THEY HAPPEN OUT THERE AS

WELL..................................................OR THEY ALWAYS EXCELLENT OR ARE THEY SOMETIMES -- JUST LIKE YOU AND I -- HUMAN BEINGS ---- LEOS ARE HUMAN BEINGS AND AS SUCH THEY ALSO MAKE MISTAKES AND THEY ALSO ARE OUT THERE DOING AL SORTS OF THINGS SOMETIMES NOT WELL INTENTIONED -- BUT, INVOLVING THEIR JOBS AS WELL..............I WAS WATCHING NORWOOD SAPS CARS HEADING PAST ME -- SAS SECURITY CARS -- DIFFERENT HELICOPTERS UP THERE THE SAPS HELICOPTER AND I DO GET CROSS WHEN PEOPLE TALK ABOUT EQUIPMENT BEING MORE IMPORTANT THAN A POLICE OFFICERS LIFE -- THE LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN SOME STUPID BIT OF EQUIPMENT.........................................................................

DO WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS THE CASE THOUGH -- I do not know I just hear the insults directed towards those POLICE OFFICERS ALL THE TIME -- and it is ong-going as well...

I AM DOWN IN BRAMLEY AND THEN I AM GOING HOME TO START MY PACKING FOR A NEW HOUSE AND MAYBE A NEW LIFE AND I AM ALWAYS GOING TO THINK ABOUT THOSE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE SAPS AND HOW MUCH THEY STILL MEAN TO ME --

IN SPITE OF WHAT HAS GONE ON -- MY STUPID FAMILY ASIDE......................................
