Strange – Just a week ago, a shoplifter met a similar fate here in San Antonio.
I am reflecting on the Philadelphia Bridge cop who arrived on the scene of an accident on the Ben Franklin Bridge which blocked traffic in both directions. It seems a stray dog who found himself in the middle of the span got spooked and ran out in traffic causing a pile-up. The fine officer greeted the pooch, held him safely in his arms, then threw him off the 800' high span into the Delaware River below.
The cop had to draw his gun to prevent the same fate from the witnesses. It became a standoff and was only dispersed after promises were made to prosecute the cop.
