When we die we retire. I wonder how long this career cop of NYPD has been in the Harlem precinct. That would be a book I would like to read. Also, I thought all detectives had to be physically fit. From the looks of it this detective has haad either too much stress or too much beer.
Slainte!!! Have a great retirement.

This man is a hero. Forty-four years of service. He deserves to take care of himself, and enjoy the time off. There'll be plenty of offers and opportunities for this man!

He could always do what so many do, retire, and become a PI and use his skills for others.

St Paul could have said, "There's a time to work and a time to retire" Enjoy the rest of your life.
