It's sad that some people here won't even take the time to look at and understand what is going on, and why.

Sad yes, but not unusual.

I read the bulletin from the Oklahoma PRG chapter. Their working on the problem and I trust things will get worked out.
Everyone respects the work that PGR does, so you’re going to have a bunch of people jump to their defense. It’s huge statement to the job they do and how much they are appreciated.
I wish the Oklahoma PGR luck and hope things get worked out soon.

+1 I'm not going to try on this subject anymore. Way too frustrating.

+1.....like the old and highly used saying.....If they have to ask, then they wouldn't understand.......but some don't even ask because they think already know it all.

Let me start by saying my initial comment that started this thread was stupid and ignorant. After a couple of days reading and learning, I learned something about myself. I let my emotions run my mouth and thats not what I'm like. I acted like an *** and a jerk off. That being said,
I would like to apologize to everyone that I talked sh&t too on this fourm
and especally want to apoligize to the leadership of the Oklahoma PGR.
I now see they are just trying to protect their people while they work out the situation. I respect the people that earn their patches and if my leadership said we couldn't wear our patch because of a similar situation I would take mine off, I wouldn't like it but I would still comply. I again apologize and if someone feels the need to give me a lashing on this fourm I will understand because I acted like a jerk and it wont happen again.

good man Bart.......not to worry. We can all let our emotions get to us once in awhile. It is only a human thing to do, especially when we are passionate about what we do.

It takes a big man to step back, re-evaluate things, and admit that he might have been out of line. You, sir, are a big man. I'm sure anyone reading this will appreciate it too.
