Thanks to all who are police officers and lay your lives on the line most every day. Most people could not live with the high stress and the unknowns, but you continue to protect and serve. You're forever dealing with people who have a chip on their shoulder because they hate authority. You deal with the perverts who you know will offend again when they are let out. You deal with the abusive husbands who beat their wives, and only to have the wife say she won't press charges. How about the creeps who prey on the vulnerable, like the elderly? We had an elderly lady here beaten so bad that she was in a coma for days and has since died! You deal with the druggies and the mentally ill, and are often expected to make split second decisions that can mean life or death. You deal with all of this and much more, yet people expect you to not be jaded.
Thank you for making our world a better place to live. I appreciate what you do!
