Fun story, when I was a Sergeant I had a relatively new guy on my squad when we got a shooting call at the Swahili Elks club in the parking lot. There were several victims, and my new guy wound up doing CPR on one of them. Might have saved him too if it weren't for all those bullet holes in him. Anyway, when we get to work the next day I pull him aside and tell him I need a detailed memo from him about why he did CPR, because the coroner relayed that he would have lived if my guy hadn't pumped all the blood out of him. (It was gushing like a fountain with every compression) Let him go back in the office and type the memo, he brought it out and gave it to me, white as a ghost, and we all laughed and laughed and laughed. Well, he didn't, but we did. Welcome to 3rd shift rookie!!! God I miss Police humor....
