Back in the 70s, my father was a Sergeant in Philly. All his men were drinking on shift.
He showed up in a bar one time because another cop dimed them out. They were all drinking. He took them all to the "front" (punishment). They all got off.
Then, my father is arguing with the Captain. Captain agrees that the men cannot drink. Some asshole argues with it. He wins. Now my dad had to compromise with his men saying, "As long as I don't see it, you are fine."
This shit really happened in Philly back in the 70s.
Drinking on the job wasn't uncommon at all in big city police departments back in the 70's. Your father's story in unfortunately one of several I've heard/read about from big city cops in the 70's.
There's a reason "going postal" is a common phrase. If you look up the list of incidents it's pretty crazy. The place just can drive some people insane.
I'd take a drunk White postal worker over a lazy DEI worker they have today// i use to get my mail at noon back in the 90's, now im lucky to get it by 6pm
Probably did haha. The real story I've heard on that is the post office got some new standards from congress at the beginning of the 80's and they started squeezing the employees really hard for productivity and shit. Just a ton of new rules and regulations that dramatically increased stress levels for staff.
I saw the same thing when I worked on construction jobs at the GM plants, mostly niggers drinking in cars and niggers sitting around a table not working. At that moment I stopped buying cars made in the US.
