____________________________________

"Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid. He is the hero; he is everything. He must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor—by instinct, by inevitability, without thought of it, and certainly without saying it. He must be the best man in his world and a good enough man for any world." “He will take no man’s money dishonestly and no man’s insolence without a due and dispassionate revenge. He is a lonely man and his pride is that you will treat him as a proud man or be very sorry you ever saw him."

WriterDojo S5 Ep2: Law Enforcement (w/ Griffin Barber) Jul 19, 2023

This week our hosts/authors Steve Diamond and Larry Correia discuss this topic with super cop (and popular author) Griffin Barber. (*This episode was recorded live at LibertyCon 2023)
