Hi everybody! I have a question for you all about a persons mental health. (i have a degree, so i know a little ) But please, what do you think and feel about a person who speaks and writes in the third all the time? I have encountered and observed many over the last 20 years. Back in the 60's and 70's very few acted like that, but today i see many more. Please feel free to give me your opinions on if any does it show to you that the person is not the normal or "average" person and that from what you all have knowledge of these people are more likely to be unstable? Thanks in advance to any who wish to reply.
I want to also say i mean people in sports,movies,the lime like.Remember heavy weight fighter M. Tyson? I do not wish to talk about those we may know.

It's interesting. I've met several people in my lifetime that do speak in third person. Many of them were in gangs. It's like a "thing" with them. I remember one guy. I arrested him for murder. He said; "Manny don't do those things." My response was, "Tell Manny I got his sorry ass.... Witnesses who identified him in a lineup and his prints being in the person's blood."

I think that people that do that often have a feeling of insecurity. Just my thoughts.

thank you for your wise opinion. Being in law enforcement gives you a edge in this world. Insecurity,like they are never wrong in what they say or do. think about anybody who does speak like that, they are almost always "right" and your wrong. they see things only one way narrow and they know it all and it HAS to be there way. even when they may realize they are wrong they never can admit or change to it.

As the Chief of Security at a seasonal and weekend park for campers and those owning park model campers, and lavish layouts, I can say that I meet all types now as well. I meet the sociopaths, the chameleons that are so nice when sober, and totally out of control when drunk, as well as those that like to create trouble, by getting others to do their bidding. Add to that, those that try to intimidate others, and steal. It;'s a total mix, and each weekend brings a new challenge.
Just this past weekend, I worked over 45 hours over the three nights from Friday on. During that time, I was able to prevent several fights, had someone who was a threat to others arrested, solved disputes on property lines, helped the Mgr. I collecting back dues for being here, and handled the crowd that assembled to hear what is probably the best band in Southern Wisconsin, Shotgun Jane. Yet, nothing serious happened,

Mixed in was a missing kid from across the lake, whom we found, and even disagreements between children, on the playgrounds, which was made worse by parents who got involved. I might add, three hours later, the kids were playing together and the parents hated each other. Had they stayed out of it, they would be friends, and life would have went on as usual. It's all human nature.

Fortunately the one thing I was able to take away from police work was the ability to see what type of person I'm dealing with every time something happens. It makes life a hell of a lot easier to be honest.

and i thank you for doing a much more difficult job than people think. One thing to,, Honesty is something that will help keep people on the right track. Business teaches deception, half -truths and leading people to see something that is not good to be good. These rich back stabbing ways is why our society today is in bigger trouble than every before.

I keep trying. But, it's about time I hang it up. I'll be 75 in October. That's too old to be doing this stuff.

The Chief of Police, in the township we're in, wants to deputize me, and swear me in as an official police officer. I kind of laughed and told him I didn't think I was young enough. His comment was that I'm better at being a cop than anyone he presently has on force.

I'm not certain that was as much a complement as it was a sad state of affairs based on the personnel he has working with him. Anyhow, I don't think I want to carry a side arm again. I carried that responsibility long enough as a cop.

you are thanked by me and all others who realize the job you had carries so much on your shoulders. Thank you for serving. I think you should get away from harms way. You have served long enough. Take some time and sit back and try to enjoy life. You earned it.
