> various opinions about "subway hero"

It would have been nice if the event had been more clean-cut. What most
people who have never lived in NYC don't unsderstand is that there aren't
any police around to use force appropriately. Everyone I know who lives
or lived in the city has had their mugging experience, and the follow-up
encounter with the police:

	victim: officer, I've been mugged!

	officer: so what?
