  E.J. Montini is a columnist for The Arizona Republic.
  
  
  The things we ask of officers
  
  
  The death of Maricopa County Sheriff’s Deputy William Coleman is a simple, heartbreaking example of the things we ask law enforcement officers to do.
  
  
  We ask them to respond to middle-of-the-night reports of burglar alarms, as deputies did at medical facility near Anthem.
  
  
  We ask them to be on the lookout for suspicious individuals or vehicles, as when Coleman and the deputies spotted a minivan sitting in a nearby parking lot.
  
  
  We ask them to walk up to those vehicles, as Coleman did, and tap on the window to awaken what appeared to be a sleeping driver.
  
  
  We ask them to take on a crazed man with an assault rifle who comes up firing.
  
  
  We ask them to risk their lives for us.
  
  
  And they do.
  
  
  And sometimes that is the sacrifice they make.
  
  
  We might remember this the next time some politician or think tank lawyer suggests that police are ripping off taxpayers by way of their pension benefits or union activities.
  
  
  We might remember this whenever some ridiculous egregious example of a high-powered double-dipper is held up as the norm rather than the exception, because the “norm,” when it comes to first responders, would be a lot more like Deputy Coleman.
  We ask a lot of them.
  
  
  A little respect, a little understanding – and the benefit of the doubt – is not too much to give in return.

  Thursday Funny
  
  

  A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a sheriff's deputy. He thinks that he is smarter than the deputy because he is a lawyer from New York and is certain that he has a better education than any cop from New Hampshire. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the deputy's expense.
  Deputy says, "License and registration, please."
  
  
  Lawyer says, "What for?"
  
  
  Deputy says, " You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign."
  
  
  Lawyer says, "I slowed down, and no one was coming."
  
  
  Deputy says, "You still didn't come to a complete stop. License and registration, please."
  
  
  Lawyer says, "What's the difference?"
  
  
  Deputy says, "The difference is, you have to come to complete stop, that's the law. License and registration, please!"
  
  
  Lawyer says, "If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I'll give you my license and registration; and you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don't give me the ticket."
  
  
  Deputy says, "Sounds fair. Exit your vehicle, sir."
  
  
  At this point, the deputy takes out his nightstick and starts beating the ever-loving c**p out of the lawyer and says, "Do you want me to stop or just slow down? .
