Nepean police constable Robin Easey, a father of two young boys, was in hospital, fighting for his life. Another officer was seriously wounded with gunshots to his legs and face.
“I mean this man was blind, he had a traumatic brain injury and quadriparesis, and he went through body pain and aches and pressure wounds. He might say, ‘I wish I could see.’ Or, ‘I need to get out of this damn chair.’ But there was never a ‘poor-me moment.’ Ever.” “I didn’t know anyone,” she remembered, “and he felt sorry for me and came over and introduced himself. And then that was it. We started dating and never broke up.”
Easey was not the kind of officer who brought home the trauma of his police work. He’d tell Glennis about the drunk drivers he arrested — he was dedicated to making roads safer — and about oddities he encountered. Easey ordered the driver out of the car and searched him. He had just found a handgun stuffed into the waistband of the driver’s pants when he heard gunshots from the stairwell.
“I’ll never forget it,” she said. “He told me, ‘You might as well go shopping.’ I said, ‘No thanks.’” “You’d see Rob sitting in his chair, kind of observing and hearing the kids, and laughing. He laughed a lot, believe it or not.”
