Michael Quinn Cuts the Thin Blue Line

There are two kinds of courage, and Michael Quinn has both. Physical courage 
is a job requirement for police officers. What every rookie is unprepared 
for is the necessity for ethical courage in the face of what every cop 
understands as “the Code of Silence:” never snitch on another cop. Ever.

What Did You Do Today, Daddy? 

There are lots of calls for service. Most cars are an hour or more behind in 
getting to their assigned calls. Now I am waiting in the drive-up lane at 
the local fast food restaurant; there isn’t time to sit down and eat a real 
meal. As I pull up to the pickup window there is a call for “Officer Needs 
Help!” a block away.
