"I had to get my baton out twice tonight!"

Woo! Just finished a night shift, and what a busy one it was.

I drove about 150miles in my shift going from job to job.

Anyway, the first time I had to “get it out”, was at a pub fight. A colleague called for emergency assistance after a fight kicked off. Loads of people made their way. I made mine from a fair way away and, “drove at the speed limit”, all the way there.

When I turned up there were 10ish officers there. When I left there were around 30. I didn’t stir it up. I swear.

The second time was not to protect myself, but another being.

There was a rabbit stood still in the middle of a 60mph road, so I stopped, put my blue lights on and prodded it with my baton until it was off the road.

I’m a hero. And I’m tired.

Is it pronounced baa-ton, or ba-ton?

I wish I could have got my baton out at work last night.

I too got some images in my head. They weren't sick, though...rather refreshing, in fact.

When I first read this topic's name:

I got sick images in my head :S

Well done, English. In a word, you're a legend.
