It’s been decades since an off-duty Pittsburgh beat cop shared a few beers and some stories at the neighborhood bar on the eve of his retirement. When a kid asked if he ever shot anyone during his 30 years walking a beat, the cop said, “I only drew my weapon twice and I never shot it even once. I got to know the people, and I helped them out when they needed it. My job was simple.”
Things are not so simple anymore because the police must be everywhere and do everything. They look for lost dogs, check in on older citizens, direct traffic, provide first aid, settle arguments, control crowds, wrestle drunks and respond to accidents and fires and assaults, all while racing around the zone in a police cruiser. And when they confront true evil, they must be ready to shoot it out.
