I have thought through some of the provocations that confront law enforcement over the years. You never know what you are up against and I think that is part of the problem.

So you say "if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen". Well maybe that's easier said than done. I remember some 15 years into my career I wondered if I was in the right place.

I realize that this is not always the case in other areas of the country.
