I have been both and trust me they are not the same in any way.First off many of the cops did die in the flood, I have a few officers down there from my department who checked in with us. The police dept down there dont have uniforms, half dont have weapons and there are TWO yes TWO vehicles that they have. Its kind of hard to stop looters without weapons, what where they gonna use harsh language? You seem to forget that the police dept was washed away, that means lockers, weapons the whole nine yards. As I said before, and if you were in the military you should know better reporters are out to inflate a problem to make a story. Dont believe everything you hear on TV. when you make an Oath to your job it doesnt mean that you forsake your family. And dont you make that same oath to your wife when your at the altar?You said that you stood your ground when your wifes unit was attacked, again thats the military, way different set of circumstances. Its not dissertion for a cop to quit, its called RESIGNING. As for 911, again way different scenario you cant compare, I was there it was about saving lives, but if the entire city was under a disaster you bet many of the workers would ensure the safety of their family first then report to duty. Its easy to monday morning quarterback someone that you never walked around in their shoes. If your not a cop you just dont understand how important a family is too them, its a foundation for everything and for many it keeps them sane and going for having to deal with the harsh things they see day to day.</blockquote>
