Honor our police officers. Think of the times they talk someone off a ledge. Think of the times they show at the scenes of domestic disputes, talking to those involved and talking down the problem. Think of the times they provide comfort and care to the victims of assault.
Think of the times they have place their lives on the line.
Think of the reasons for which they decided to become police officers, many wanting nothing more than to protect and serve.
This is a time when we do need to weed out the bad officers. It is a time we need to change police department policies. But, in all our correcting, let us not chase off our officers. More than ever, this is a time good officers could feel abused and unwanted. Their institution is under attack. In their frustration and stung by the hatred, they could walk away from the job.
Let us, then, laud, praise, encourage and thank our officers, for the police officer's profession is one of the noblest in the land.
