Uncle Scotty Story - Old School LAPD Hazing

[@randallhunsaker5766]

First time picking up my paycheck at the kit room window, my Training Officer told me to go to the report writing room, get a PIR and make a theft report. List the City of Los Angeles as the victim……..😂

I miss the Gates days. Now it's full of fruits and nuts from the Asst Chief down.

[@cops312]

There was actually 2 shotgun racks in the black & whites. One on the floor and one in the trunk. At least that’s how I remember it in the 80’s 😂

[@ConradSzymczak]

I remember similarly, Lieutenant, go get the clutch grease! Nope, not gonna fall for that.....

[@VicFromFallout]

That was amazing and funny story. I have great morning, thanks for that

[@mgreen7063]

You're absolutely right, you had no options. You can answer yes, sir; no, sir; no excuse, sir. That's it.

[@elliottko1847]

These are amazing

When I was a rookie working a Sunday day shift I was called to the station to see the sergeant. We walked out to where all the unassigned cruisers were parked and he pointed and said; “Get ‘em washed.” Spent the rest of the shift ferrying cars to the carwash & back to HQ until they were all done.

By the way , your hand gun training classes are excellent , I can tell by the videos that you don't have any one running blindly backwards like most of the others , they get angry at me when I show them why running backwards blindly while firing a weapon is a tactical error .

In Houston the PPO's could not sit with the veteran officers during lunch. Try doing that today.

[@ramonsmediablog]

What a fun story.

I remember getting hazed in my profession. I look back now and laugh.some of it was funny some of it embarrassing but overall it was a right of passage. Now that im at the peak of my profession i am forced to take sensitivity training. People can sue and win for getting their feelings hurt. 😂

Funny as hell 😂😂😂😂

OMGosh It’s so different now. These guys go to EEO for being called a “Rookie.” It’s a name, not their name. I swear, I’m almost done.

[@AdventuresofmalibuandDad]

Wow great and funny story now. But not when it happens to you. Poor dude. Well you were a trooper for sure. We would give the slow guys applications to Walmart and put them on the front seat of the patrol car. It ideally got them back on track.

[@Joe-bx4wn]

I'm sorry I would have been kicked out. I would tell the Sgt:" You gonna help? You see an octopus out here?"

[@Paladin1873]

The moral of the story is to question stupid orders. I learned this lesson in high school ROTC when my instructor ordered me to cross an open field during an infantry exercise. Naturally I was shot at by the opposing force and had to be rescued by my team. A friend of mine asked the NCO why he had sent me into such an obvious trap. He replied, "I just wanted to see if he was dumb enough to follow a stupid order". Turns out I was, but I never forgot the lesson.

[@notlisted-cl5ls]

oh man.....i remember going to the kit room to get a CC unit. Central division LAPD 1988.

[@pithicus52]

That crap pisses me off. When I was in the military, that sort of thing was common. They caught me out once. It was so stupid that I couldn't think of how it could be a hazing so I fell for it. I never did anything like that when I became an NCO. I understand how some people think that they went through it so they should pass it on. But I think it is abusive and if you break the cycle of abuse it would stop.

[@shernmccraken4253]

Not as dumb as telling the new guy to go check the blinker fluid in the car and he actually goes and does it

[@SlightlyTarded]

Wow, knuckle draggers. Glad this dumb stuff is dying away.
