To all of those who served in blue:

Risked your lives for our protection.

Countless duties; missing loved ones.

Excessive pressure; weighing tons.

You all deserve much affection.

I thank you all for what you do.

Can’t believe this happened in my city

Today I was at the food shelf waiting for a taxi when a police car pulled in cop got out ,and from across the street a man yells "Killed any black people lately?" I immediately felt disgust at the disrespect of this clearly troubled individual.

I am so proud to say that I am a member of an agency such as Station 4. The type of badges we wear are of the same material as we are of the same family. Police lives do matter. They run along our side to be at yours no matter the time or the need. You can't put a price on what officers and troopers do every day. If you don't support law enforcement then you have no reason to remain friends with me. These men and women help protect and risk their lives every time they sign on to shift and if you can't be thankful for all they do don't call on them in your time of need. Show them the respect they deserve even if it's just a simple thank you. #PoliceLivesMatter #BlueLight #TurnTheNeighborhoodBlue #iSUPPORT #Station4 #WeCare #SupportingTheBlue #WeAreAllAFamily #BlueLivesMatter #BlueHonor #ThinBlueLine #HerosLiveForever #FedelisAdMortem #RespectPolice #ThankACop

Another incident

So there is another issue with cops that unfortunately will be drawn into the idiotic realm of racial issues. A kid in Cleveland was threatening people with a realistic looking airsoft pistol and when confronted by police and told to put his hands up he reached for his waistband.

Sure, this is merely a thirdhand accounting of what happened, but this 12 year old was really done wrong by the mindset going around that it's ok to be disobedient to law enforcement officers, which is it not.

There will also be talks by the head-in-the-clouds unrealistic types who will call for the heads of those sworn to protect us. Guess what, people? Without police, there are two other options- military law or martial law. Military are far stricter than police ever would be and martial law means those with the best weapons become judge jury and executioner.

Don't let the media and unrealistic viewpoints cloud your judgment. Granted not every suspect is guilty, but there are far too many suspects that are innocent of any actual crime acting belligerent enough to warrant further suspicion. And when it comes time to a projectile weapon like a gun, there is no grey area if it looks realistic. Mainstream media and race war-mongers, this 12 year old's blood is partially on your hands. Generalizing and assumptions are terrible things to do when it comes to human lives, but when your motions are based on education, training, and common sense they can save lives far more often than not.

Respect the police for they risk their lives to keep the malicious from taking your right to live your life your way. And yes, I have been apprehended by police a few times for doing stupid things as a youth. I never badmouthed them or showed them sass despite being in the wrong and treated them with due respect and they returned the favor despite my causing them initial problems.
