If cameras had been invented, you would see show nice photos of Yidden shaking hands with many shady characters throughout our history. We must deal with everyone we encounter to some extent. I’m not necessarily comparing the NYPD and FDNY to any of those, just making a larger point.
Do you think when these officers are in the bar or privacy of their clubs they are complimenting us?
I did appreciate your comments on the shirts, hat, jacket, thread!
