http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_McDonaldThe man above has been incredibly generous to close family friends in their time of need and is a real inspiration. So many cops face the risk of his fate or death every day. The kid who shot him was 15. Another cop from my high school was just hatcheted in the neck in Queens by some wanna be terrorist while he was taking pics with tourists. You may have seen it on the national news.
I know dozens more good cops who face incredibly stressful conditions from their leadership, the politicians and in the streets. You deal with the crazies, the guys who like to get drunk and beat the hell out of their old lady and kids, rapists, thieves and murderers.
I ask what do you have to deal with BRTD. Vending machine out of order, paper jam in the printer, an angry customer. It's easy to judge people when you have no idea what they have to deal with.
