Today, A woman and a child come into the place where I'm standing guard, the child is obviously hiding behind his mother. She explains that the child is scared of police officers because of the TV show COPS. I nod in agreement that some can be scary. They proceed to talk to the owner as they had planned, on the way back to the door where I'm standing I offer the child a candy cane from a table. This once timid child approches me with a huge smile on his face and takes the candy. He then, in the sweetest little voice I've ever heard says "thank you mister"
That ladies and gentlemen is why I do what I do

It's not for the money
It's not for the "police discount"
Because at the end of the day ... There is none
We do it for the future of our community. That bright smiling future.
