National Police Week

[lkabug]

This is National Police Week.
You have probably seen very little about it in the media.
Say "thank you" to a Law enforcement officer. They have been under great pressure and ridicule lately. If you are by chance in the
Washington, D C area the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial is a great visit. 701 new names were etched on the walls of the Memorial this week.

The thin blue line is getting thinner. Bravo to all LEOs.

I seem to remember that it was in May each year.

I seem to remember that it was in May each year.

Because of COVID-19 it was moved to October this year.

I thank them all the time for their good work, except when that silly flashing blue light thing is messing with my old eyes.

The mother of my children has her name on that wall.

Thanks to all LEOs.

I always tell 'em face to face.

Tomorrow, October 16, 2021, the flags are to be flown at half staff/mast sunrise to sunset in honor of the LEO's we've lost.

My neighbor is a deputy sheriff; a nice guy. Praise to him and his brothers in arms.

Thanks to you, and your family's service to our society.

The police department in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, both my hometown (I live a little further south now) and that of Rush Hudson Limbaugh III, where my father served as Chief back in the 90’s, has an authorized strength of 85 officers. They have 62. Nobody wants to do this work, and I do not recommend it as a career path to those who ask me. It was a good career for my father and for me, but that time has passed . . .

Some of the bravest men and women on planet Earth.

How they can continue to protect us from the sub-human garbage out there in today's climate just goes to show I'm right.

I'm inclined to agree. I strongly discouraged both of my sons from going into law enforcement, fortunately both are doing well in other careers now.

Even so, we need well raised, with a strong character, young men and women to fill the ranks. With the weak moral fiber seemingly demonstrated by our society, we don't need fewer LEO's, we're going to need more.

P.S. Whoever downgraded this thread with a 1 star rating should be ashamed.......I'm giving it a 5 star rating and I hope others will also.

I have read her story more than once. I appreciate the post, but hell will freeze over before I could "like" it.
