8. "I don't know what they're doing. They're scared."
This needs to be on network news. Unfortunately, it won't be. After all, we can't show that those who actually defend the country, at risk of their own safety, don't support the aims of the NYPD and their leader, Mayor Bloomberg.

I'd love to see this guy get five minutes with the mayor. Televised. He'll have him crying.

Go, Sergeant Shamar Thomas of Roosevelt, NY!

:salute:
:woohoo:

19. Yep. Very true.
There was one young cop that look like he had been bitch slapped. A lot of the others you could tell wanted to shut him up but didn't dare.
