This picture was taken in the Downtown Crossing area on an extremely cold afternoon. The serious man who is standing on the street is a Boston Police officer on patrol. He looked very cold and zipped his firm coat to keep warm. From the bags under his eyes he looked exhausted, but he appeared to remain vigilant. According to the background of the picture, he was engaging several city teenagers in conversation, and making them laugh. This small area is a popular spot for Boston public school students after school, and has seen its share of gang violence, so the police department places officers in the area everyday after school.
Police officers are always playing a very important role in every corner in the world. They keep the peace through the enforcement of the law; protect our public and property; and investigate crimes. Try to imagine that, if there are no traffic cops in a traffic jam, or no one will catch the thief who just stole your handbag on the street, they just become a part of our life.
Sometimes, they are still doing their job when they are off their duty. After they take off their uniform, they never have a rest. To keep people safe has become their sacred duty or bounden duty. Therefore, we should show our best respect to them and appreciate all they have done to the society.
