Reply to comment by Kcidobor in Man charged after eating stolen chips dropped by thief, police say by jab116

I was trying to be fair to my neighbor, who is/was a cop. I've only spoken to him a few times in 8 years, but waved at him whenever we drove past each other. Seemed like a decent enough guy, still takes care of his grandkids full time.

This summer, I had noticed that his truck almost never left his driveway, and when it did, it was for short periods of time. I also knew that he was the most senior (longest tenure) officer in the force, so one day I asked him if he'd retired. Like, "hey, did you finally take a well-deserved retirement? Heh heh"

He responded with "maybe, not really, still working." I just remember thinking that it's been over 6 months since I saw him in uniform, what is he trying to hide from me? It's gotta be his instinctual lying, is all I can conclude.

Lol what is this anecdote supposed to illustrate, you just spent 3 paragraphs explaining how you actually don't really know if your neighbor lies, but he's a cop who drives a truck and has grandkids, only he doesn't drive his truck much anymore.

He's either been disciplined for 8 months to a year, or he flat lied to me that he didn't retire.

If you read between the lines it seems he’s saying that he is on disciplinary review. Maybe something using excessive force or abuse of powers. It’s mostly speculation but with the nature of the thread they commented on it would track
