I have just been sitting back and reading, I see Xbar as the typical smarta__. No I'm not an English major and don't clame to be. Xbar is over 10 years younger than me and college educated, so he still has some maturing to do, it is understandable. I am 6' 3 1/2 or over 6' 4 in my boots and pushing 240 (not fat), Matt can't believe you judged my height that well from meeting you, several people from SP have met me as I do have a love for cattle like most on this site does, but have not had the honor to meet Xbar. I do go to Denver every year and have been to Fort Worth and plan on going again soon. So if you would like to chat in person, I would be happy to meet you at a show so we could get an understanding of each other in person. I do take a little offense to your talking or bashing of Police Officers, we just do jobs that are more physically challenging then other jobs that some do, but I will just tally it up to immaturity which will get better with age. I am proud to be a Police Officer, there is a very true statement "we (cops) run towards gun fire and violence while others run away". I worked in St. Louis Missouri in the north side of the city where the projects are and have seen pretty much everything from fresh homicides to very brutal crime scenes. But from just reading your posts I have a good idea that I'm sure you could not handle being a Police Officer physically or mentally. I don't know how big you are but lets just say I'm bigger than most and know how to defend myself well from martial arts, wrestling and Police training, but I know when to keep my mouth shut even as an Officer, your mouth can get you in a lot of trouble when there are a lot of angry people around you. Have you ever herd the saying "Your mouth keeps writing checks that your ass can't cash"? I see that it in you. Just saying and of course my own opinion. But I will leave it at that cause I do see this as a family website for people of all ages and I may have crossed the line a little and for that I do apologize but I do take a little offense to people bashing Police in general as I have worked really hard in this career and with honor.
