What??  Well I'm not one to criticize but all of your complimenting and how comforted you feel is based on this?:

" As we slowed to see what was going on, we noticed an officer petting and comforting an obviously badly injured yearling deer."  Gosh Jim and Mary....you do realize that he was dealing w/an animal.

I'm thinking the true test of a peace officer is his ability to remain peaceful in highly stressful situations.  That same cop I just know would stop and help a deer or help capture a runaway pig.
