Some people are incapable of learning from their mistakes, and some people....I read a book about Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary in which one bank robber described his criminal activities as "my job."

For the bit I highlighted, how did they know?Loose lips, and all that.
As for them getting boisterous (nice euphemism, BTW) I would have had all that deserved it tased and/or pepper sprayed and posted the video on Youtube as a lesson to others.
Guess you can tell why I'm not an LEO.
Our agency posts on Facebook any road closures and usually a non-de-script reason for the closure. Also, we are on a public frequency, the whole world knows most things if they own a scanner or have a scanner APP on their phone. AND - he ran through town during the daylight hours, on a weekend. Anyone who was out and about knew what was going on and most likely who was involved. I found out later that pictures had been posted to spacebook before the FD arrived (passers by) and the MC was easy to ID.
They don't let the FD guys have Tasers or Bear spray, but we do have pointy and sharp objects
I have had a Capt chase a man away who knocked me down during a domestic violence / arson call. I don't post to spaceplace or boobtube due to dept policy, but there are not enough people who would learn any lessons from that anyhow....Ranger514

Fact is most people don't change. If they start out bad, chances are they'll remain bad.
Years ago I detained a shoplifter and held him until a police officer arrived. The shoplifter was a very slow talking fellow - reminded me a little of Forrest Gump. When the officer arrived he took one look at the suspect, and said, "Hey, I know you."
The guy shook his head and said, "Nope. I ain't never seen you before."
The officer said, "Sure you have. I arrested you last week at Wal Mart and two weeks before that at Target."
The suspect looked at the ground, shook his head sadly, and slowly replied, "Well, maybe so. I'm not a very good thief. I keep getting caught."
