Firefighters have a duty to do thier best to stop fires and rescue people. Doctors have a duty to save lives. Soldier's have a duty to protect those who cannot or will not protect themselves. Police have a duty to protect civilization from those who would destroy it.You say I don't understand. That's very possible.They failed in thier duty. Willingly. I don't understand why.I'm sure they could have aquired weapons one way or another. That's no excuse.Not to me.IE: Quitting.[quote[ 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>Nope. Never been a cop.But I've upheld my duty at all costs. As a civilian, as military.They ran. They quit. They left.They abandoned thier duty.As for the seeing things every day: You took the brass, you can take the blood.Duty. Honor. Courage.More than words.[/QUOTE]
