Chatting with Kriss Kallum – NetRadio Program
[Transcript]
KALLUM: Anyone read about that Pallad City Post poll a couple days ago? A survey came out claiming most people in this town believe the police are, get this, unfit for duty. I’m thinking we should really hear another perspective, and who better to speak with than some of the most level-headed minds of our day. I’m speaking, of course, about our esteemed listeners. [Audible Laughter] Let’s go to our first caller. Aron from the Lago District, you’re live on Chatting with Kriss Kallum. What are your thoughts? Any faith in the good ol’ PCPD?
CALLER: I actually wanted to talk about something else, but since you’re asking—no, I have zero trust in the cops.
KALLUM: The poll was vague about the definition of unfit. What do you think—are the officers literally out of shape like, you know, unfit in a purely physical sense? Or you think they’re unfit in a more, uh, ‘mentally incompetent’ use of the term?
CALLER: It doesn’t matter, because you wanna know what I really think? This city needs more than just regular cops. You hear about that experimental tank that almost got loose in the city a few days ago?
KALLUM: Nope. Haven’t heard that one.
CALLER: Damn right you didn’t, they covered it up!
KALLUM: Ah, the classic coverup. And you know this…how?
CALLER: I’ve got contacts, Kallum. I know what’s really going on in this city. Remember those crazy monster sightings in Pallad City Park last week? I heard it was actually one of those robot police dogs that went nuts. A lot of stuff’s going on out there and the media’s not reporting any of it!
KALLUM: Well, Aron, good thing you’re around to fill us in on all the action we’ve been missing. Thanks for the call. When we come back, we’ve got a caller who claims he was stuck in a malfunctioning autotaxi for twelve hours with the ghost of his ex-wife. Who’d want to miss that?

“I’ll try my best.” NO! Do, or DO NOT. There is no try.” Yoda speaks. Umm, on another note ladies, before you go get something to eat, I’d hit the showers first.
Yoda was an idiot: how can do if you don’t try first?
Then again, he was the one who said “Only Sith deal in absolutes!”
Which sounds like an absolute to me
Actually, I think it was Obi-Wan who said that.
Poor Reena. Welcome to the game show, “Big Letdown”.
Heh, I bet Reena thinks they’re going out for something good, like burgers and a shake – but it’s probably going to be health food of some kind.
I actually have to disagree with Madison here. Not that I think being physically fit isn’t important, but an officer’s best weapon is their mind. Being able to quickly assess a situation and come up with measures and countermeasures is most important. After that, the more physically capable you are, the more options you have.
Although not a weapon, the third thing a police officer needs is compassion. Although I suspect Madison has more compassion than a lot of her fellow officers (she just doesn’t show it), she could probably still use some training from Reena in that department.
