Anarchy

I sat here feeling nervous yesterday in this country I fear might be turning to anarchy.  There has been ongoing civil dispute with crowds of people lining the streets and marching against their police forces.  That the protests have gone on so long since the police killings that spurred them to begin with means that the people have reached  their limit with corrupt police activity...but only a few are corrupt and the whole nation is holding all of them responsible.

A known criminal gunned down 2 police officers in New York who were just sitting in their car.  They were murdered because they were police officers.  Another criminal here in Florida just shot and killed another police officer for the same reason.  The normal public doesn't seem to understand that criminals don't need much motivation to kill a cop. A cop's life is on the line every day they go to work but still he/she steps out there every single day to keep you and me safe from the bad guys. Just think how safe we'd be if just a fraction of those cops decided their jobs weren't worth the crap they have to take and the dangers they face.

A police officer is just a human being who can't do their job efficiently if they have to butt heads against the bad guys AND the good guys.  We turn our backs on the "good" police officers at our peril.  We need them much more than they need us.
