Darwin Sowel was a police officer in Detroit, Michigan. He saw his friend's son being robbed and may have been killed. Darwin decided he could not sit idly by as the crime took place. The FBI asked him if he wanted to help catch the robbers or just go about his life. "I would think for most people, there would be at least a moment of emotional conflict"

What happens in our minds when we have to decide what is right and what is wrong?
