What is a Hero?

I figured I would start October out with a respite from the political nonsense that seems to be so prevalent in our country right now.

Coming from New York City, I lived through a lot of police bashing. Every civilian has an opinion of what you should be doing, and when you should be doing it. We got a little relief after 9/11 when everyone was shell shocked. But it never lasts.

There is a great video on YouTube which shows a guy getting a chance to be a "Cop for a Day" in Baltimore. Very Funny Stuff.

But in all seriousness, the photo below shows exactly what it means to be a cop. A Cop in Regina, Canada approaches a High School where there is a hostage situation as students are seen fleeing. That's what it means to be a cop. As others run for safety, you run into harms way. (Thanks to Gregor in Austria for sharing the photo)

General George S. Patton said it best: “Courage is fear holding on a minute longer.”
