Reading

Buchanan describes in depth several police men who are awesome and different than other "common" cops. He says how this job takes passion and motivation to become one of the best ones. First he describes Mike who was fifty-seven when he was once on a murder scene and how he survived being hit from a motorcycle. He is stronger than many other cops, besides his age. Buchanan talks about several crimes in the story and says how they have solved it. Since they are the best ones, they investigate very detailed about what has gone wrong. For example, they were even able to find someone by looking for blood spots on the floor. They were about to give up, but this one insisted. He even says that people who die have "no privacy" because they investigate what they ate, what they physically did, and what they consumed. In order to find out what was the cause of their death, they have to do this.

Women cops have difficulty finding husband, according to Buchanan. There was a tall, beautiful, blue eyes cop who went on a plane and had a conversation with a man next to her on the whole trip. She didn't say anything about her profession. After telling him, he didn't say one word. Other male cops have an extra sense on this job. Sometimes they can feel what is going to happen. This one in special had a special quality, he was able to foresee who was doing something illegal; who got stolen cars for example. He was basically just able to see something wrong with just one look.

For cops, it is difficult to trust an editor because they have not experienced what really happened. So, they sometimes change the whole sense of the event by changing one word that they think means the same, but it really doesn't. They proofread incorrectly and sometimes makes the narrator (the cop) look funny and stupid. One of their rules is not to trust an editor.
