The stories of the ongoing disagreements between police and fire departments has almost become traditional. Ditto for the story regarding the witness protection program.
The story of mental health issues was poignant. We saw police who care in their relations in dealing with such people; we saw the callous attitude of agencies as their workers are over-worked and are drowning in a sea of bureaucracy. We saw the human element in a father's attempt to get help for his very disturbed daughter. While the results were tragic, the story was memorable and should remain a major focus within the police department.
The police/fire thing was and is always basically political. So, what else is new here?
