Thank God that we still have policemen and policewomen who will rush toward danger.  On Friday a black man, probably suffering from mental illness, stabbed four people aboard the Amtrak train in Niles.   Our police rushed against the flood of humanity struggling to exit the train to get to that man and stop the carnage.

Our police used the right level of force to subdue that man safely.  I wonder if the media will cover that incident with the same energy that it has covered incidents in Ferguson, Missouri, and Staten Island, New York.  At the very least, I would very much like to know the identities of the heroic police who saved the day on Friday.
