I was in my credit Union today and the headlines on the screen said that Minneapolis voted to defund the Police Department, lets see how that works out for them. Fuc*ing idiots!!

Sorry, unable to provide a link.

If you think for one moment this isn't staged then I need to remind you Joe Biden has already come out against defunding the police. Now the Democrats can say Joe is a reasonable middle of the road guy, and you can trust him to do the right thing. Now the Democritters can claim they support both extremist and middle of the roaders.

Tonight is my tenth 12+ hour night straight.

I’ll be completely honest. If I didn’t make good money and have a pension waiting for me when I’m 52, I’d walk out.

Even knowing that, it’s harder every night.




Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here.

Went through a CMV Inspection Station tonight outside Wills Point, Texas (the 512 on I-20) coming back to Dallas.
First time I've seen it open in well over 3 months.

DPS officer asked if I was loaded, I said "Yes Ma'am, I've got a trailer 100% full of tires".
She winked at me and told me to go ahead, they don't usually check stuff on day cab company vehicles..
I told her 'Thank you' and as I started to pull away, I said 'I appreciate you'.
She just smiled and waved me on...

Any time I see an LEO out and about I tell them thank you.
I'm sure they all appreciate it, even if they don't show it..

My friend Damon was murdered at work on Saturday. One of my first beat partners. He has a two year old son and his wife is due with a second child in a couple weeks.

I always kind of chuckled when I heard guys talking about burning out and couldn’t understand how guys could just drop everything and walk away. The last couple months have changed my views. If I had any other skills I could support my family with, I’d be gone. The thumbs up from normal folks are great, but the constant beat down from the media, the government and the rabid, vocal left is brutal.

I watched people burn down the city from the lakes to the river. I never thought in my time I would watch a Blackhawk helicopter fly over my precinct to protect it. I couldn’t even give roll call one day I just didn’t hve the energy, they burnt the precinct where I started my career. It was always my second home.

As a kid, I can still remember police walking a beat in Chicago. My grandparents, who raised me, would always point to them and tell me if I was ever lost, or needed help, to look for them.

A sincere thanks to all those in law enforcement.

The police are like oxygen.
You don't miss them until you don't have them.

This country is one that is separated from many countries by an overall very good policing system. I pray that those involved in it are kept safe.

I pray hard for this country should the police really be significantly altered by current efforts. The change could be very hard to come back from.

Why We Need the Police

They save lives and keep New York City safe for all residents—especially the most vulnerable.

Heather Mac Donald

https://www.city-journal.org/why-we-need-the-police



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I'm sorry.

Add in the all-too-common lack of leadership and training and I'm there. I can handle almost anything coming from outside the building.

Thank you to all the law enforcement officers out there, those on the forum and all others too.

I cant imagine how tough the job was before, and now recent events have made it even harder.

Keep the faith, stay strong, stay safe and may God bless you all.
