  • Often a Street cop is one of our most important lines of defense. We are not told whom the cop it but his thoroughness scared this terrorist to dispose of his weapon allowing others time to catch up to the plot. That cop is the real hero of the story because in the mundane part of his thankless job he still did it well with out knowing the lifesaving implication of what he did. A lesson for all of us.
