Site Reboot: Welcome to My Old Kentucky Crime Scene 2.0

Let's try this again.

Good evening and welcome again to My Old Kentucky Crime Scene.  I started this blog way back in 2017 and, after half a dozen posts or so, I let it die.  My last post to this thing was in March of 2018. 

Not that it mattered, of course.  I'm not sure that anyone has ever read this blog.  I decided to leave my old posts up just for the hell of it.  If this thing ever takes off I'll be curious to see what kinds of comments those old posts generate. 

A lot has changed for me and a lot has changed in the world since just over two years ago.  The main thing is that I retired from the Lexington, KY police department.  I had done nothing to promote this blog back then, mostly out of fear for my position if my real life identity became well known.  Now that I've started collecting my pension I have "Fuck You" money.  Not a lot, but enough guaranteed income that I won't starve if the mob comes for me as a result of anything I might post here.

With retirement has come a fair amount of freedom that I didn't feel like I had before.  It's nice to have my 1st Amendment rights back, something that police officers as a practical matter have to curtail during the course of their careers.  And, folks, have I got a lot of pent up things to say...


Where to begin?  Well, with the Black Lies Lives Matter movement most likely.  The current troubles, brought about by the death of George Floyd while in the custody of the Minneapolis Police Department, are subsiding for now.  They could flare up again and they will, no doubt about it.

One thing that I didn't do before is try to promote this blog publicly.  I'm still thinking about the best way to do that but hopefully it won't be years between posts.  I don't intend for it to just be a "Cop" blog.  I want to opine about other things as well.  But with a name like My Old Kentucky Crime Scene, there's going to be a lot of cops and robbers stuff. 

We'll all just have to see where this goes.
