I was just watching TV a few moments ago, yes it was Spike but I usually don't care for the Police videos. I watched today as three officers got shot at, and just shot period and I thought to myself, no wonder these guys are so weary of everyone.
I took some time to quite my anger with a recent situation that I have been observing first hand between some friends and an LEO, and just thought for a moment.
You guys really do lay it on the line, and to be honest I am surprised that their aren't more jaded cops out there than there already is. I know that there are always going to be those guys that are fresh out of the Military and are gung ho about being a cop and act like an ass accordingly but for the most part you guys are very much under appreciated and given a bad wrap for no reason.
It makes me proud to know ya'll. Anyone that is willing to risk their life for low pay, daily disrespect, and generally being a target is a servant in the truest form. I thank ya'll for what you do, and your willingness to be understanding albeit a bit irritated at times. I just wanted you to know that I appreciate what you do daily. I will have a much better outlook on things the next time if ever I get pulled over again.
Thanks again guys,
