You do What?

So the other day I found myself amongst  a new group of friends. Everybody was mingling getting to know one another, we were talking about what do you do for work and other conversations where going on. I said to this woman, what do you do for work. She replied in a matter of a fact tone, I am an Oakland police officer. The room got dead silent. You could hear a pin drop. That is bad on so many levels. I will just leave it at that.

Yes, I'm with Karen, whay is it bad...and why bad on so many levels. She's a police officer that is there to keep peace in oakland. My dad was a police officer. When I would disrespect the office that he held, my mom would scold me and say, God has called him to bring peace in our community. Anyway, that opinion and $.55 will get you a cup of coffee at McDonalds.
