He certainly came home pretty jazzed up if he had to run a suspect down at work.
LOL, I'll address this one separately because it clearly illustrates the adrenaline thing. My dad retired in 1980, so he's so far removed from this, but I asked him to explain. He said, "Desk jobs are just so damn boring. We didn't take on this job to sit around and joke. That was part of it. But we couldn't do it for more than a few minutes."
Last year, my former boss/mentor/father figure and D21's godfather passed away on Valentine's Day. My cop friends and I were well versed in his medical episodes (he had liver cancer). So we were all huddled around him as he was dying and said cops started talking about a multi-county car theft chase that involved their 3 jurisdictions. Cop 4 joined us and it was like a bunch of women reliving their first Bon Jovi concert. I didn't want to look down and see if there was any excitement, if you get my drift.
