Ayoob has never been more than a "reserve officer". I've met dozens of this type over the years. They want the badge. They want the uniform. They want the recognition. They want in the fraternity.
They DON'T WANT, the grind, the mental strain, the physical contact required, the blood, and the constant exposure to death before the undertaker purtied things up.
They also didn't want the pay.
They are used by departments for traffic control during parades, festivals ect.
Ayoob has promoted himself with his degree in journalism over the years, and hes articulate. But hes never been tried out.
Hes a college boy, and lawyers are college boys. They work well together, to twist a situation into something more to their liking.
And BTW. I don't consider myself an expert.
