It was impossible to tell what had happened. Two women were lying, screaming, on the ground. The street was full of excited people. When the dust cleared we found that a man had been shot. His attacker had escaped in the confusion, NYC

On a warm July day neighborhood children play in a patrol car. At another time, an officer reminisced about wintry midnight tours, about the isolation he felt in the patrol car. Night after night he drove the same streets saw the same drunks, homeless ones, addicts, whom he had to move on, clearing the street. He had his anxieties. What, he wondered, would he do if one night they were gone? Whom would he talk to?, from the series "Police Work"
