    Pulling "Full Cop"

    We have a security guard at work who is great fun, but he can do this thing I like do describe as "Pulling Full Cop".

    His background: He's doing security for us as his retirement, but he's former LAPD; he did a south-side beat and was there in the middle of the Rodney King riots. He has seen some sh*t, and even though he's a sweet old man most of the time you don't want to actually screw with him.

    When he "pulls full cop", he transforms from that sweet silly old man back into a serious cop on a whim. And he did it to me once.

    I had just clocked out and was walking down the employee hallway when he saw me.

    SG: "Stop, stop right there!" *puts his hands out to stop me*
    Me: "Come, on, what is --"
    SG: "Stop! Just stop. Don't move. Stay right there."
    Me:
    SG: *talking into his radio* "Okay, I have her right here."
    Me:
    SG: *still holding his hand out to keep me at bay while he talks to someone on the other end of the radio* "Uh huh...uh huh...okay..."
    Other CWs: *all stopping to see what is going down*
    SG: "...got it. Okay, bhskittykatt, tell me, what is the room that needed the three extra towels?"
    Me: *light bulb goes on* "It was 1234, and YOU ARE SUCH A MEAN JERK!"
    SG: "Okay you can go now."

    Sometimes he pulls out the cop, but he never really stops being the silly prankster!

    Too funny!
    Almost all the security guys at the city college in Chicago I worked were ex-CPD. Nice group of generally sixty-plus year olds. Told self-deprecating jokes about not going up stairs, or never chasing anyone again etc. which I laughed along with. Until the day I got to a stairwell just in time to see Henry (name not changed 'cause he's awesome), right behind some banger, throw himself forward for an ankle tackle. Second first floor guy was right behind him, and second floor (main doors) crew brushed past me seconds later. Kid had gone from lewd and crude remarks to sexual assault and been seen.
    Sometimes you can take the cop outta the force, but you don't take the force outta the cop.

      I have a friend who's ex-army, and he can pull 'full soldier', which seems rather similar by the way you've described it.
      Seshat's self-help guide:
      1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
      2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
      3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
      4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

        My dad was a 30 year vet, and could chew some ass without swearing or repeating himself. I was in awe the time I watched him dress a driver down for 25 minutes without yelling, swearing or repeating himself. I was also told by more than one boyfriend that even though he never did or say anything to them, he was the scariest person they ever saw.

          yep, that's why they say 'Once a marine always a marine' & that goes for all military & law enforcement as well. That thought process doesn't just go away after you retire, it stays with you till the day you die.
