Five officers were slightly injured when a police van crashed on the way to the scene. Seven people were taken to the hospital with heat exhaustion, and one girl thought she was shot in the leg, but was not. It seems to me that there was a rule which says you keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target. It seems to be too much to ask New York City's finest to observe such things. There is no such thing as a safe trip.
Safety is an illusion.
It must always fail in the end. One who places safety first is, quite specifically, a coward. We do not go to war to be safe, neither do we climb mountains, or race cars, or hunt buffalo, to be safe. We hear commentators explain that we should not resist violent crime because we may get hurt. This is the advice of the rabbit people who live all their lives in fear and never know the joy of danger.
