Page 6 <br />1 weekends working on these cases. We do it because, like you <br />2 say, you want to give back to the community, yeah. But I <br />3 think we've been giving to the community. <br />4 And all, basically, we ask is a fair shake, if you <br />5 give us the same thing in line with the police officers. <br />6 Because if the police sergeant is -- even they being paid <br />7 just as much as me on a regular salary, because of his years, <br />8 that doesn't seem right. Because they're calling me two <br />9 o'clock in the morning, the patrol guys, asking me -- you can <br />10 ask Tom -- they not supposed to call for anything less than a <br />11 felony. <br />12 I get a call on a domestic violence. It's two <br />13 o'clock in the morning. They ask me: Oh, can you help me. <br />14 I have this question. I know we not supposed to call, but my <br />15 sergeant told me to call you. And keep in mind now, we don't <br />16 get paid. We on call for that one week, we don't get paid. <br />17 Two o'clock in the morning. It's not just a strain on me, <br />18 but it's a strain your family, right? <br />19 Think about it. You get one -and -a -half days to <br />20 spend with your family. You know, you're doing it for the <br />21 community, but you doing it your whole life as a career. And <br />22 all you expect, to be treated fairly. And, you know, get <br />23 these guys down here, how much thousands of dollars you guys <br />24 spend to train one prosecutor. You know the trial trainings <br />25 I went to get to the point where I am. <br />ISLAND COURT REPORTING & TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES <br />(808) 933-9800 <br />
