July first it happened. God visited a terrible plague on America. Every policeman in every police force in every city in America lost his partner. Not every policeman, but half of the policemen lost a partner to sudden unexplained death early one morning on July the first in every American police department.  Mother's wept, Father's wrung their hands and the remaining police partners raged. Thousands of partners threw their badge in resignation at the police captain in their appropriate departments rather than follow procedures and allow an internal investigation into their partners unexplained death. Hundreds of usual suspects were knocked around, stoolies were bribed and and beautiful, but kind hearted exotic dancers were inquiried.

Made for TV movies proliferated after every other police detective in America lost a partner to unexplained death one morning in July. Hundreds of car chases were filmed in facsimile cities that  represented typical America cities that served as ideal sets for action car chases after every other policeman in America lost a partner to sudden death.

God did not explain his reasoning for visiting every other policeman in America with the loss of his partner to unexplained death one morning in July. That July thousands of hardened cops in America reflected on the brevity of life and existence for policemen and other Americans.
