I'm sad to see so much negativity towards LEOs lately. It's hard to convince folks that the solution to prejudice towards one group of people isn't solved by applying prejudice to another. Yes, there are still race issues all over the country and I don't discount that we still have a ways to go. But the groupthink and inability to entertain conversation beyond the popular social media position is frightening.
My cars have the thin blue line stickers on the back and I'm always afraid they're going to get messed with. But we need to support our officers, not paint with a wide brush simply because of some bad apples.
Thank you guys/gals for what you do.
