I try to help law enforcement do its job to the extent possible. I don't put them down like that. What they do is dangerous. Even if they get money for their work, it's still a brave thing they do for people.
The other day, I passed by a fire truck that dropped a watermelon-sized pouch on the road. It kept going to its destination without turning back for the pouch. When I realized the siren sound was gone, I knew it wasn't coming back. So, got out of my truck, picked up the pouch, and drove after the fire truck.
I handed the pouch to one of the guys at the house they were getting out to.
"Thanks," said the fireman.
When he later heard my story, my friend said I should have kept the pouch and that there might money in it. I said they needed it for their work and that no fireman would be carrying money like that.
