If a cop called for help, John would move heaven and earth to get to them. He'd burst through any obstacle to get there, even bolted doors and cinderblock walls if he had to. As a cop's cop, you fought and won many battles on the street. I have no doubt you'll win this one too. We wish you a speedy recovery brother . Sláinte The Amass Family
