In Harm’s Way

Black Police Officer Stock Photos, Images and Backgrounds ...

He is the 10th of 10 children in his family.

His siblings were very violent including his father who spent three, five year terms in prison.

He did a lot of fighting while growing up.

I met him when he was a high school football player.

He graduated from high school and began his college education.

He later joined the Detroit Police Department.

Because of his violent family, he was immediately assigned to the gang squad.

While breaking up gang fights, he has been shot at three times.

Fortunately, all three shots missed him.

He puts himself in harm’s way so he can earn a good salary and a pension for his family.

At the same time he improves the city and is a role model for other young people.

We need more of this kind of citizen.
