That is what I think is the really cool thing about writing about what I witnessed and did-the reader can see it learn about it but not be scarred by it...At least that is my hope. I remember once I was talking to this guy on a call. He said that we cops did not have any idea what it was like to like in the inner city...how hard it was. I thought about it, he was right. We left and went home. However on the other side of the coin the time we are there is totally immersed in the absolute worst the city had to offer. There are no calls where you are asked to respond to a birthday party to blow out candles....you never see anything good. 40-50+ hours a week you are going from the worst this person will experience that week.... to the next person and the worst they will experience and so on... that is why I think the books have merit. You can learn from my experiences and not have to drown in them.

I guess it's my way of protecting myself from the harsh reality out there. It changes a person and changes a person's outlook on life. Maybe some day I'll be able to pick up your book and read it to inform myself, because it's ridiculous to expect to go through life avoiding these realities.<br /><br />Thanks for this lovely post:)<br /><br />Sarah Bibi SetarIdentitySeekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10860858096449950459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937471865323192764.post-6366552552568600422012-03-15T07:31:47.719-07:002012-03-15T07:31:47.719-07:00Thanks for the comments, checked out your blog as ...Thanks for the comments, checked out your blog as well.
