Nope, sorry. But walking off the job is unforgivable.

And I say this as a veteran. A cop walking off the job at the time of such a crisis is no different, in my mind, than a soldier deserting his post in time of war.

No, if I take an oath, it is an oath.

not only for when times are good. It is easy to be a hero when one is not scared.

true heroism comes from acting bravely when one is scared sh!tless.

I see a pattern here....all us older folks seem to think alike. I guess there is something to be said for the decay of society and what is held as acceptable to each generation. We are in much bigger trouble than most could fathom.

agreed

I think honor and dedication might have died off after the Generation X's...

Some did stay though.

I heard a cop there telling a radio reporter that he heard a sound in a house with water about 4 foot deep inside. He went in and found an entire family face down dead and a guy right beside them going through their things. He said it was all he could not to kill the guy on the spot. After the guy left he broke down and cried.

I'm not a quiter, but I can't judge the situation thousand of miles away.
