Having lived in NYC, I'm amazed at the level of restraint they've been showing over the last two weeks. They're taking a vicious beating and really pretty much holding fire. Not sure I agree with that strategy, but you have to respect their discipline.
Wild horses couldn't get me to do that job.

- InspiredIdiot 6y agoTo clarify, this is in response to "Wild horses couldn't get me to do that job." It is no mystery. Joining a police force is a powerful tool of upward mobility in a country (ours) where pretty much all the others have been lost. I would hope that the people enjoying those advantages (possibly deserved but evidently rare) would want to preserve them. Sometimes that might result in the restraint you note. Other times the results might be quite different.
