Great article. Stein said:
“How about everyone who stands between the weak, pitiful good people and the strong, vicious thugs who want to kill us, rape our wives, take what we have? How about all of them getting some credit once in a while? How about thanking the police once in a blue moon instead of damning them?”
p>That is something that needs to be said often. I’m glad he said it. That doesn’t ring as well as “People sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.” But I think “Saints in Armor” covers the subject better. br> — Ben Snyder
