There are times when the public does not appreciate the work of LEOs and LEAs. There are times when the public are over critical of the actions of the LEOs, and go as far as suggesting perhaps LEOs are given too much power, thus restricting the freedoms of the everyday citizens. This is further perpetuated many a times by the MSM who seems to bring nothing but grief to those that have sworn a duty to maintain the right within out society.
Why is it that everytime you open a paper, or you look at the headlines it always appears to be something negative about a LEO or a LEA if they make it to the paper? Why is it that the bravery of one, two, five or dozens of members are not recounted in the next day's news? I always see headlines such as:
"Cop shoots man with knife"
"Teen killed by off duty cop"
"Man killed by cop involved in TASER incident"
So on and so forth....
It saddens me greatly to have to read those stories, and know that those members go on each and everyday serving quietly in the background, unappreciated and uncared for until you the ignorant require their services. So here I attach a small commentary with a powerful picture. The member in the picture embodies the ideals of a LEO, the quiet professional behind the thin blue line. The next time someone thinks that members are doughnut benching, coffee pressing frackers remember this picture, because when SHTF many are likely to be running away from the sound of anger, but those few WILL be the ones running towards it.
