Samaritan and firefighter put panhandler's safety first — despite copsMike Kozlowski will tell you up front that he swore at the police officer. You might have, too, if you'd been willing to do what he did in the first place. Kozlowski, 27, was on eastbound Jefferson Avenue Friday morning, about to make the sweeping right turn into the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel. Straight ahead, he saw something odd: a black sedan, facing the wrong way, toward the cars exiting the tunnel into the United States of America. In front of the black sedan, near the orange cones and orange-and-white barrels that mark the middle of the Randolph Street entryway, sat a man in a wheelchair. Idling in front of Mariners' Church, Kozlowski rolled down his window. "I assessed the situation," he says. He left the Army in 2006, after two tours in Afghanistan and one in Iraq, but that's still the instinct. You stop, you observe. If need be, you act. www.detnews.com/article/20110623/OPINION03/106230424/Firefighter-puts-panhandler%E2%80%99s-safety-first-%E2%80%94-despite-action-of-Detroit-cops

My first reaction is to belittle those two LEO's & the Detroit P.D. (I live just outside Detroit).
No, instead I want to thank one of our Veterans for having the courage for helping a stranger.

There are men of honor and those that have no honor. In this story it is easy to see who is who.
Thank God for a citizen and fireman who have honor and care about a human being.
A pox on the thug Detroit thug in uniform.
