LIVING IN WITH FEAR (A Quest for Survival)
J. I. Granville
Officer Mike dedicated himself to justice. During his twenty-four-year tour, he
experienced twenty injuries! He was assaulted with fists, bricks, guns and even cars.
He was dragged down the street while making a drug arrest.
His rear window was blown out by a shotgun blast.
He was thrown from a second-floor landing.
His cruiser was hit head-on by a wrong-way driver.
His left bicep was torn while arresting a homicide suspect.
His windshield was struck by bullets during a high-speed chase.
His lungs burned when saving a child from a tenement fire.
While serving, Mike was rewarded with smiles, gratitude and respect from:
A husband whose wife was revived by his CPR.
A young suicidal woman who wanted to know why he cared.
An inebriated man who appreciated Mike's respect.
A lost female driver safely escorted to a highway entrance.
A teenage addict who thanked Mike for buying her a Coke.
The families of homicide victims who found justice.
The suspects who were proven innocent.
