Today, the best "street cop" I know retired after 29 years on the job. Danny, "Mr. Fig," Figueroa put his uniform on for the last time. He is in outstanding shape, outruns men half his age, and lifts more than double than some half his age as well. He was my mentor who taught me the "felony heartbeat" and how to deal with people with compassion, never taking their dignity away. Even though I outrank him be several levels, he will always be "sir" to me. Thanks for the guidance Fig. I'm gonna miss those long lessons you taught me about being a cop, and ever more so, the lessons you taught me about being a man, David
