I don't mid saying that I'm an old man, been in law enforcement all my life. I have seen crap like most cops have then went out and drank a beer and joked about it. I read End of Watch and Keiths scene at the wall brought tears to my eyes.

We have many mutual acquaintances. Coincidentally, Kathy Ryan also worked as a cop in the same place. It covered the township of Huntington. We exchanged war stories about cases she and I knew about, even some where I represented the defendant. During my years in the NYPD I had personal acquaintance with at least 8 cops who were killed in the line of duty and many more who I knew about. Meeeting those two ex-SCPD officers just one extra benefit of attending the conference.
