I love this sentence!
"because the police station was located in Town Hall, George Durham remembers he often didn’t have to go far to make his first arrest of the night."
was usually a shitbag defecating/vomiting on the town common or a brawl (w/ 4-5 bars around the oval)
i kinda knew this guy & he was always a mello/decent cop..(as witnessed on the ''canario'' video (much to most/all your chagrin, he didn't club either one of them upside the head w/ a nightstick, so you could capture it on video.....try as you might)
& what you all conveniently glaze over:
''He was honored as a state hero after the Woodland Heights apartment building fire in the late 1990s ......................
But the most fun was being the town’s first DARE officer and School Resource Officer.
“The schools were very open to the (SRO) program, and it was challenging,” he said.
Officer Durham, aka “OD,” as the kids called him, has been involved with the young people for most of his career, with yearly bike rodeos and fishing derbies, and he was also on the police bicycle patrol, motorcycle patrols and the dive rescue team.
Sometimes parents will come up to him and tell him, “You saved my son.”
“That happens on a regular basis,” he said. “But I didn’t save him – it was the whole concept, the whole community – it’s the village that raises a child.”
