"In this case, they were directing traffic."

What case are you talking about? Not 9-11-01?

"As a LEO, I am sure you think you are special, and deserve being called a hero."

Obviously you're sure of a lot of things. I'll you something I was told by an old-timer here almost as soon as I got out of the academy..."A hero is just a sandwich, kid". I do my job professionally and to the best of my abilities so I can go home to my family and friends after every tour.

"There is little difference, to me, between the cops and the robbers!"

There is nothing I can say, nothing I can show, that can dispel a delusion rooted so deep. People like you make me wonder why I even bother. Please don't ever visit NYC. I would hate to get t-boned by a cab while racing through an intersection to come help you.

I only come to NYC when I am on business, and that is rarer these days.

But, you talk out of both sides of your mouth, like your old-timer...

You've taken a lot of unnecessary heat on this thread. I don't like it.

I believe the overwhelming majority of LEO's are damned good people. No, I have no family members in law enforcement.....but I appreciate what you do.

Don't you sweat it. God bless you, and may God bless your compatriots who truly put it on the line for the citizens whom they are sworn to protect. It may appear to be a thankless job at times...............but trust me, it isn't.

We thank you.
