Stories from the cops beat

I had an incredibly challenging week working the cops shift. I wrote about a 14-year-old kid who died, which was hard emotionally, and covered my first fire, which was hard physically and mentally. But overall, it was a pretty awesome week. I really enjoyed the challenges.
