Living with Fear

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.
