Re: helmet anyone? Okay story but I promise I will make it short. When I was with the local pd, I was their picture man so I got called out on a lot of break ins and such. now and then something good came along.
One night I went to the Er to make photos a dead biker. There he was stretched out on the stretcher still in his motor cycle helmet. Seems he had a close encounter with a telephone pole. I am told the bike was fine but he caught the pole on the side of his head not the top. It pulled him from the bike by his head.
When we removed his helmet for the facial id shot, his head rolled to the side and blood ran out his nose and eyes. The rookie cop standing beside me just folded up and went to the floor.
The ER nurses who generally love cops, we had the best donuts, rushed in to attend him. I realized how unfeeling I had become because I made pictures of the corpse then of him. Too bad cops don't make more money I could have blackmailed him.
Moral I guess is wear your helmet but still be careful crap happens in the best of families. |
