Last week a police officer was shot as he walked into a Dunkin' Donuts that was being robbed. I'll repeat that--a guy was robbing a freaking DUNKIN' DONUTS, and decided "cop killer" was a good title to add to his resume.
I miss Calgary.  |
I remember when I spent some time in Detroit with some friends and we were having this conversation. You can always hear police sirens, the occasional scream and gunshot. Its as commonplace as hearing traffic in Calgary.
I asked these guys what they do, do they just keep walking or what? Their answer?
Hell no. Thats when you start to run.
I remember not too long before that I had heard a gunshot in downtown Calgary and it didnt even register to me until I had already left the area. What the hell was that? Was that a gunshot?
Before going to Detroit I hardly even knew what a real gunshot sounded like.
