Quotes on Memorial Day
Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong.
~James Bryce
Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.
~George Washington
There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right in America.
~William J. Clinton
Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.
~Mark Twain
Other than rooting for the NFL New England Patriots, what does patriotism mean to you? (Comments in the comment section below!)
Tough Cops Genre
Law enforcement's counter part to the Hard Boiled Detective is the Tough Cop genre. Think tough cop and Dirty Harry comes to mind. If Dirty Harry had not been created, we would not have, "Make my day!"
Tough Cops are sometimes ex-cops out to solve their last unsolved case on their own.
Or they might be cops suspended for breaking the rules. The reader likely agrees that the ends justify the means. This is especially true when the tough cop is pushed into action by organized crime. His tactics are justified if he "collars" the kingpin of the mob or kills the crime lord.
You will recognize the Tough Cop by the way he interrogates. If the suspect is slammed up against a wall or his head is submerged in a toilet, you know you have a tough cop. An other sure sign is willingness to use his gun...and win all gunfights.
Keep in mind, tough cops are not typical police officer or detectives.
At the end of a three day weekend, please remember the men and women who sacrificed so much to give us a holiday.
