DO NOT JUDGE
Please do not judge them until you have walked a mile in their shoes.
These men and women you are so quick to abuse.
For behind the badge is a Father a Mother that has a family of their own,
they plan to return to when their duty is done.
They miss birthdays and holidays and the list goes on. Just to protect your wife your son.
The pay is bad the days are long and still they put the uniform on.
So think about it if you would, for just a moment if you could,
the horrors they face every day are the ones we pray never come our way.
They hold a child as he dies and comfort the mother as she cries.
And yet you complain about a speeding ticket you obtained.
Many have paid the ultimate price, giving up their life,
to Serve and Protect you and I.
So please get a clue and do not judge them until you have walked a mile in their shoes!

on Wed, Dec 31st 1969, 16:00This is why id rather be a cop outside the UK. WE are judged on our actions even if those actions were done with the best intentions. The British Goverment still seeks to punish individual officers who acted in good faith. They even brought in legislation to seize officers police pensions. Shows you what they think of cops in the UK

on Wed, Nov 18th 2009, 11:00The police are all too frequently judged in a negative light. But for those who think it is easy being a police officer think about the four Lakewood Washington police officers that were murdered Nov, 29th while meeting in a coffee shop. It is times like this all of you should remember the sacrifice we make daily so the public can live a life of peace. If for some reason you see the light on this please feel free to support the slain officer's family by donating to the memorial fund that will support the nine children these officers leave behind.

on Mon, Nov 30th 2009, 09:49I really like this! My father died 2-6-72 in LOD... it takes someone special to walk out their door each day to go to work and having no idea if they will return. God bless the families, officers and retired officers... and thank you!
