I believe you did too.I was working motors in our Traffic Division on that day. I was towing out the radar trailer to an assigned spot, and stopped by a drive thru to pick up a cup of coffee. I saw the TV inside with several folks standing around it. I parked the truck with the radar trailer attached to it and went inside to see what all the commotion was about. That was when the second plane hit the tower.
On this same day, we were joining with several other area police traffic officers and our job was issue as many tickets to motorists violating any law around the school areas because the school year had just started. I told my boss that I would stop all violators, but refused to issue a citation because all citizens had been traumatized enough for one day. I was reprimanded for this, but 12 years later I still believe I made the right decision.
