    They run into burning buildings as we flee them. They approach where bullets are fired as we frantically escape the danger. They mobilize for natural disasters as we shudder in fear of our lives. First Responders -- a rare & cherished subset of our species.

        Today marks 5 years since my brother was able to leave the hospital after being shot in the face in the line of duty. He was shot when performing a routine traffic stop for a stolen vehicle. Some cops abuse power, but that's the exception not the rule. 1st responders are heros.

        It's not the exception. Firefighters and EMT's are heroes. Cops aren't.

        As a kid, I remember a man came to my house with a pickup truck and a chainsaw after a snow storm. He cleared our only road out and would only take a cup of coffee for payment. Shout out to the disaster response volunteers out there. @TeamRubicon
