i know, that's disgusting. but, that is the leg of one of my bosses after he got shot in the line of duty. he, by the way, is doing great. no limp, no stagger, no real damage. but, he did come away a different man.
he told me that he thought about quitting the force that very night, giving up on his law enforcement career and everything that it took to get him to this point in life. but he also said that if he did that, then what kind of message would he be sending to his son, his family, his community and all the criminals in it?
he didn't want one crazy man to make him live his life in fear. to end his career. to send the message that police will give up so easily. so, he's at work, doing what he loves. sure, every day he is a little more aware of the world, but at least he's still out there trying to make it safe.
