Officer Sheehy deserves kudos. I don't see why being a Paddy has anything to do with it.
Yes, of course he does, I agree one thousandfold.
Being a Paddy, as you just insulted the officer and myself, although I am not insulted and I'll bet he wouldn't be either.
I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and I consider myself an American in every way everyday...
but I still have a little of the "Old Sod" in me.
