Definitely wasn’t about the money but actually *serving his community.* Remember, when he started working as a cop he worked for free. This is what being a peace officer is. It was a calling for this gentleman.
Being a peace officer is... working for free?? Oh hell no. Each work deserves salary. Especially when said work involves the carrying and risk of use of firearms against armed criminals. You have to have motivation different than money, but you can't expect people to actually work pretty much anywhere without a decent salary. The calling should be what drives you to work, of course. But the calling AND the salary (amongst some other things, but these two first and foremosy) are what should make you stay.
@@TheRealCozyWhat job? He's not an active officer running after criminals, he's pretty much just a PR guy, and he seemed to do his job pretty damm well!
I don’t think it was about the money. It’s something he loved doing with his time. It wasn’t work to him. Nothing wrong with that. Of course he was to old to be out there patrolling as a beat cop. He had a good relationship with the community so the Department gave him a safe position off the streets.
What an incredible American considering his service as a peace officer and society. An inspiration to citizens and other law enforcement alike. Blessings!
Thanks for all your years of service!. The good Lord kept you healthy all those years and watched over you God Bless you sir you are an inspiration to all officers at every age including myself.😊
What a great name. Decorated jacket, laser focused, no BS. Seems like it was a wonderful privilege for these officers to work with a guy who's seen it ALL
This man is a inspiration we got him and we got a 48 year old riding bulls at the highest levels all these guys are an inspiration that you don’t quit until your ready bless you buckshot smith and have a good time fishing
Now just hearing Mr Buckshot Smith story! I pray you enjoying every moment… If you like come to Georgia… I live on and own a 300 acres farm with several fishing spots. You and your family are welcome over to Georgia…
It's quite sad that he wants to continue doing this job because he loves it so much, but his age just wouldn't allow it anymore. Can't imagine doing a job for more than 60 years and finally doing it for the last time.
I had a hard time believing he was 93. He looks great for his age. Thank you for your service, sir
He looks 63 at the most. He is a legend.
Us black people dont show age.
@@Natalie-k9hGet that old man off the streets, he can't arrest a fly.
@@Natalie-k9hthat aint true lol
@@BradB-o3h We have to reach a certain age first.

Absolutely ❤
Absolutely 💯💙💙💙
And a calling should be what drives us to work anywhere.

Well I guess he saw it from a different perspective than most people. I wish him luck in retirement and hope he has fun fishing.
wow, I'm not 50 yet and feeling the sign, 93 Congrats, may the force be with you
Ha, that's a good use of the line.
He does what he loves
im sure he will connect with the force comment.......
Uh huh I see what you did there...very good
@@giovannifontanetto9604 There's a KEY: Doing WHAT YOU LOVE!
This gentleman makes Arkansas look like a nice place to live. Well done Sir. 👏🏽
But history says he'll no😂😂
He sadly passed away a year and a half later. RIP my friend, you truly were one of the very last of a dying breed.
Rest in peace🕊️
God needed a good police officer.
He looks soooo good for his age in every sense, mental, physical, !!
God bless this gentleman 65 years in the law enforcement 🚨
Thank you so much for your lifetime of service, Officer Buckshot! 💙💙💙💙💙
That’s such a cool name ngl
@@GOHOGWILDExactly what I think everytime I hear his name lol
You live there?
How wonderful that everyone respects him so much. Happy retirement 🥰
It's very rare to meet this level of integrity these days. Many from those generations of 1920-s, 1930-s, 1940-s had it.
Thank you for your service, my friend. 🖤💙🖤
you are welcome,tom.
@@ROSUJACOB my name, is not, Tom. It’s Brady
Policing is just a job, no such thing as a blue life.
@@OsceolaNola7 It is when you serve the people of your community. 🖤💙🖤
You're welcome bradly Cooper
Imagine how strange it will feel for him, when one day he wakes up and doesn't go to work, after so many decades of being there every day...
He took a job from others.
And he hasn’t protected anybody for the last 20 years . He would’ve been 70. Let’s be real
@@TheRealCozyWhat job? He's not an active officer running after criminals, he's pretty much just a PR guy, and he seemed to do his job pretty damm well!
@@TheRealCozyhe didn't take anything from anyone. Quit being trash
@@UmUs Respect him bro, 60+ years of duty is not a joke.
I don’t think it was about the money. It’s something he loved doing with his time. It wasn’t work to him. Nothing wrong with that. Of course he was to old to be out there patrolling as a beat cop. He had a good relationship with the community so the Department gave him a safe position off the streets.
there are better roles a community leader , should have retire long ago
@@aloyd6157well this is what he wanted to do.
Bless this man congrats to you
Happy Retirement Mr. Buckshot!❤

What an incredible American considering his service as a peace officer and society. An inspiration to citizens and other law enforcement alike. Blessings!
Get that old man off the streets, he can't arrest a fly.
Well,nothing can stop this gentleman from doing the things he loves, wow
Get that old man off the streets, he can't arrest a fly.
Beautiful man. God bless him and everyone he's touched.

Thanks for all your years of service!. The good Lord kept you healthy all those years and watched over you God Bless you sir you are an inspiration to all officers at every age including myself.😊

god bless you brother as a retired police officer may you have a great life
Much love for him! I wish he was my neighbor!
A huge blessing 🙌🏿
What a great inspiration for our younger law enforcement. "I love it" When asked what kept him going.
It's quite sad that he wants to continue doing this job because he loves it so much, but his age just wouldn't allow it anymore. Can't imagine doing a job for more than 60 years and finally doing it for the last time.
Yeah imagine feeling like your trapped in a broken body while your mind still wants to move. Very sad.
That's a pretty depressing way to put it@@StrangeScaryNewEngland
God Bless Him! ❤
Wao...
I'm doing 20 right now, and I want to retire right now..
I'm speechless 😮.
😂😂
Dude, what a cool story and cool guy. Much respect for him!
God bless this incredible man.
They should do a major movie about this man. 63 years is a long time to be a police officer especially when you’re risking yourself every day. Wow!
Everyone comment with love and respect and salute to him
Amazing ❤🎉😊
Enjoy retirement sir. Respect from Australia.
Happy Retirement Mr. Smith ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
