When Cops Were Peace Officers

And not Ninja-fied, door kicking goons.

Sheriff Charles Plummer calls it a career

After more than 50 years in one career, its not uncommon to think about what one would have done differently.

Monday, on his last day on the job, Alameda County Sheriff Charles Plummer had his own thoughts. After a retirement ceremony that included helicopter flyovers, bagpipes and what seemed like thousands of handshakes, the former Berkeley and Hayward top cop sat in his office afterward and voiced that one regret.

“I wish I would have hit some people harder during the riots,” said Plummer, speaking of the riots in Berkeley in the late-1960s. “I regret that.”

Beating hippie ass. Good times, good times.

So long and fare thee well, Sheriff.

  1. I feel the same away about a baboon I slapped for pinching the arse of one of my females. If you really want to avoid regrets you need to carry a baseball bat with you.
