20:29:30Eirinn go Brach: She's not really talking to me :(
20:29:41Calleigh: Who?
20:30:15Eirinn go Brach: Dacia.
20:30:39Calleigh: Oh, well, she's on her way home now.
20:30:44Calleigh: Though, she said she had some issues at work.
20:30:47Eirinn go Brach: zshe just told me lol
20:30:49Calleigh: So, that might be it.
20:30:50Calleigh: Oh.
20:30:51Calleigh: WELL.
20:30:52Eirinn go Brach: I got sad for a second lol
20:30:56Calleigh: Mr. Impatient.
20:31:03Calleigh: I get the same way, tho.
20:31:03Eirinn go Brach: It's been a rough night.
20:31:13Calleigh: For the both of you?
20:31:27Eirinn go Brach: I have no clue
20:31:33Calleigh: Well. I know for her.
20:31:33Eirinn go Brach: But definitely rough for me lol
20:31:44Calleigh: What happened? I mean, only if you want to talk about it.
20:31:45Eirinn go Brach: she hasn't told me yet, sure she will.
20:31:58Eirinn go Brach: 16 hours of consistent tragedy.
20:32:15Calleigh: Yeah. I know you're a medic-vet, right?
20:32:30Eirinn go Brach: I'm a cop....Mass state police.
20:32:49Calleigh: Oh.
20:33:01Calleigh: I must have heard Brandy wrong. ;;
20:33:26Eirinn go Brach: Fuck with us on Monday, Dead by Friday; as we say.
20:33:36Calleigh: Wait. Wait.
20:33:41Calleigh: What the hell does that mean? :(
20:33:55Eirinn go Brach: That the MSP motto lol
20:34:32Calleigh: Someone died today? :/
20:35:04Eirinn go Brach: Well yeah, but not a result of me.
20:35:17Eirinn go Brach: I did pull a twelve year old out o her house while holding her father at gunpoint.
20:35:28Calleigh: Jfc.
20:35:53Eirinn go Brach: in the next 50 minutes. In this county, and god knows in this state. One of us will die in this perfession
20:36:10Eirinn go Brach: I have a scanner beside my be. Before the end of the night, I'll hear another last call.
20:36:11Calleigh: I can't do that. Or deal with that. Just..
20:36:17Eirinn go Brach: This is honestly starting to weigh on my soul.
20:36:31Calleigh: How did you get into this if you knew this was going to be the result.
20:36:50Eirinn go Brach: Because I see fire.
20:37:14Calleigh: It's bad that I don't understand that.
20:38:19Eirinn go Brach: I do this because someone has to
20:38:26Eirinn go Brach: As I told her, and as I'll tell anyone else
20:38:57Eirinn go Brach: I do't give a fuck what you think about police. but maybe remind the few, of ill of us they speak, the we are ALL that stand between the monsters and the week.
20:39:23Calleigh: Whoa whoa whoa. One apple doesn't spoil the whole bunch despite what the saying is.
20:39:50Eirinn go Brach: I've been spit on today.
20:40:09Calleigh: That's because people will believe ANYTHING that's on the social media or the news.
20:40:33Eirinn go Brach: and social media and the news spends all day minimalizing our service whilst crucifying our cause.
20:41:32Eirinn go Brach: I just listened on the scanner when one of my friends said "Christ I'm fucked up" to be responded to by "10-42, we have rescue on the way; hang in their buddy."
20:42:03Eirinn go Brach: I was in the military, and I have never been this fucked up
20:42:13Eirinn go Brach: I apologize to you, that I'm venting, I really do.
20:42:20Calleigh: It's fucking ridiculous. I agree.
20:42:27Calleigh: No, you're fine, you're my friend.
20:42:31Calleigh: I'm glad to listen/read.
20:42:54Eirinn go Brach: Look, I'll be honest here.
20:43:15Eirinn go Brach: I do't care how you feel about blue and red lights bouncing around your car. But some of us, actually give a fuck
20:43:50Eirinn go Brach: BTW, I hate to say this but I have to. A MSP officer just died
20:44:00Eirinn go Brach: Radio number 5-4, last call
20:44:02Calleigh: Jfc.
20:44:06Calleigh: WHAT THE FUCK.
20:44:06Eirinn go Brach: Radio number 5-4 is out of service.
20:44:42Calleigh: Cops are people too, rather they're fucking assholes or not. I believe that all cops are good UNLESS you give them a reason to be otherwise.
20:44:48Calleigh: And even then, it's you fault.
20:44:56Calleigh: your*
20:45:04Eirinn go Brach: She wonders why I work 18 hour days
20:45:10Calleigh: So believe me, that whole " we actually gives a fuck?" I know.
20:47:05Eirinn go Brach: I'm sorry, I'm really just venting.
20:47:13Calleigh: It's alright. I dont mind. really.
20:47:34Eirinn go Brach: I'm scared that she won't understand
20:47:39Eirinn go Brach: She's been in the navy, but still.
20:47:49Calleigh: No. I think she will.
20:47:51Eirinn go Brach: I've served, but I still don't think its understood.
20:48:00Calleigh: She's very very understanding. Like, you don't even know.
20:48:08Calleigh: She just doesn't want to be hurt.
20:48:18Eirinn go Brach: and I know that, and I'm trying
20:48:23Eirinn go Brach: But some days are hard.
20:48:26Calleigh: I know that.
20:48:30Eirinn go Brach: I served. That was a ob. This is a calling.
20:48:41Eirinn go Brach: So others may live, and all that.
20:48:42Calleigh: I don't think it has anything to do with your work.
20:49:13Eirinn go Brach: She has nothing to worry bout
20:49:24Eirinn go Brach: As long as she understands that every day, I'm going out there. I have to.
20:49:52Eirinn go Brach: I can't tell her, but I'll tell you and you can tell her
20:50:01Eirinn go Brach: Every day I'm going out there. I'm sorry, but I'm going. I have to.
20:50:24Calleigh: This is what you do, this is what you wanted to do.
20:50:28Calleigh: She'll understand, believe me.
20:50:44Eirinn go Brach: She's a pagan, I'm a die hard catholic.
20:50:52Eirinn go Brach: I must go out there, I don't have the choice
20:51:04Calleigh: And she gets that.
20:51:21Eirinn go Brach: I need someone to hold my hand. Even if she doesn't understand, I'll praise her name in the storm
20:51:36Calleigh: Oh my god. YOu're so adorable. ;;
20:51:47Eirinn go Brach: No I'm not.
20:51:54Calleigh: No. You are.
20:51:55Eirinn go Brach: I'm broken, years and years ago.
20:52:03Calleigh: And I think that's why there's an attraction.
20:52:11Calleigh: Two broken people building each other up.
20:52:18Calleigh: It's like a love story in the making.
20:52:29Calleigh: She cares about you, James. She really does.
20:53:14Eirinn go Brach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otZKjs-Jkwk
20:53:15Eirinn go Brach: Listen
20:53:40Calleigh: You want me to cry, don't you? ;; I'm so sensitive.
20:53:53Eirinn go Brach: Just listen
20:55:55Eirinn go Brach: Worst job ever
20:56:04Calleigh: But you're a really good person.
20:56:04Eirinn go Brach: I'm a cop because I give a fuck, and giving a fuck makes it hard.
20:56:12Calleigh: And that's not a bad thing.
20:56:26Eirinn go Brach: Sacrifice.
20:56:58Eirinn go Brach: In a week I lost my k9 and a friend, fml
20:57:19Eirinn go Brach: Have you ever seen those nature documentaries on TV?
20:57:36Calleigh: Yeah. They're my favorite.
20:57:43Eirinn go Brach: Ever see the one about the lion?
20:58:07Calleigh: I'm not sure.
20:58:48Eirinn go Brach: The lion. Hes the king of the Jungle right? Huge mane out to like -stretching out his arms- out to hear.
20:58:52Eirinn go Brach: He's so big, so hot.
20:59:00Calleigh: Yeah...
20:59:07Eirinn go Brach: The little lion cubs, they start fucking with him. They nip is tail, bite his ears
20:59:13Eirinn go Brach: He does nothing
20:59:22Calleigh: Right.
20:59:28Eirinn go Brach: The lioness...she starts messing with him. Coming over, making trouble. Still, nothing...right?
20:59:37Calleigh: Right.
21:00:05Eirinn go Brach: The other animals, they notice this. Theystart to move in
21:04:30Calleigh: Sorry. ;;
21:04:34Calleigh: Go one. Please.
21:04:38Calleigh: on*
21:04:55Eirinn go Brach: SWAT try outs are next week
21:05:01Eirinn go Brach: That spot on that team, is mine.
21:05:07Calleigh: I hope you get it.
21:05:10Calleigh: I really do.
21:05:18Eirinn go Brach: For one reason and one reason
21:05:20Calleigh: Because it means saving someone's life.
21:05:42Eirinn go Brach: If it has to be anyones body armor between someone and them, let it be mine.
21:06:29Calleigh: There aren't many like you, you know. Putting your safety in jeopardy for someone else.
21:06:37Calleigh: Is that how it was in the military?
21:06:56Eirinn go Brach: There are thousands of people just like me
21:07:13Calleigh: There are over 7 billion people in the world.
21:07:26Calleigh: 'thousands' it's like...
21:07:28Eirinn go Brach: "A man is measured by their willingness to give their life for aother"
21:07:51Calleigh: 1 tenth of the population.
21:07:58Eirinn go Brach: I'm a medic. I'll kneel hear under fire to plug a wound.
21:08:02Eirinn go Brach: That's my fucking job.
21:08:37Eirinn go Brach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2uK2GcRBAU
21:08:40Eirinn go Brach: First minute of that
21:08:45Eirinn go Brach: My sentiments exactly.
21:09:42Calleigh: You're a really great guy, and I think Brandy is really blessed to have you.
21:10:10Eirinn go Brach: That's what a lot of people don't understand
21:10:36Eirinn go Brach: They talk about the "Thin blue line" with derission. It's like soldiers on a battlefield. I must protect my brothers, or I can't protect you
21:10:47Eirinn go Brach: We are the sheepdogs that stand between the sheep and the wolves
21:11:00Eirinn go Brach: and yes, btw, there are wolves
21:11:09Calleigh: Oh, believe me.
21:11:10Calleigh: I know.
