    These "Uncle Scotty Stories" are something else!... I'm sure it was a "Chore" being an LAPD Officer back then.... I wouldn't even want to imagine what it would be like nowadays..... Great Video!

    I had a similar experience at a county PD I’d applied for. They said I was not qualified but never told me why. I was a Viet Nam combat vet w/a Purple Heart so thought I was tough enough. Left that experience behind me, applied at a city PD was hired in ‘68 and worked for the next 30 yrs., made captain four yrs before retirement.

    We're all glad that "Stringy arms" rejected you , otherwise the people of Los Angeles would have been minus one of their best street cops and SWAT operators of the 70's and way beyond . Keep these stories coming , Scotty !

    Interesting how one person can sometimes affect your life for the positive or the negative. My friend was about 6 months into a 4 year stint in the USMC. He was on a medical recovery due to some coughing bouts. A Sgt. he had never talked to before pulled him aside and asked "You like the Marines? You want to stay all your 4 years?" My friend said "Yes, Sgt." The Sgt. then explained to my friend how the USMC was going to kick him out within days for "Asthma". Anyway, my friend was transferred to the Sgt.'s unit and never heard one single word about "asthma" or any other medical issue. That Sgt. kept him in the Marine Corps and my friend served out his 4 years and loved the Marines. One person, can sometimes make a decision that is good or bad and can affect another persons life forever!

    Totally agree . I would pay good money 💰 to see you talk to that presumably retired Oregon State Trooper 😂

    Wow, not "good enough" for Oregon State Police. Goes to show you the arbitrary hiring practices that have (and still do in some cases) exist in law enforcement.

    They must have wanted some vaunted war heroes or something.
