2/6 Over the last 15 years I said “thank you for your service” almost every time I walked by a Police person. No matter the occasion or time of day. So much so that my oldest asked me “Dad, why do you always say it?” I told him “they are good; putting their life on the line for
3/6 everyone’s safety.” I don’t like pinning the “few bad apples” onto all in PDs, but Coronavirus is showing the world that a large plurality of Cops globally are power-abusing, cruel thugs with no humane bone in their animal bodies. This is way beyond “a few bad apples.”
4/6 Police Officers wont care, but my 15 year policy is done. If a Cop does something deserving of praise such as giving CPR (Curtesy, Professionalism and Respect) to people at an event/incident, then indeed I will thank them. But putting on uniform is in itself not automatically
5/6 worthy of praise. To many, it is a good paycheck and maybe childhood issues that they need to sort out. Besides, it would be bigoted of me to view all Cops from all departments in one way. Each needs to be viewed as their own. If you abuse your power like a thug you deserve
6/6 criticism. If you show CPR, then you deserve praise. But the one size fits all days are over. #BlueLivesMatter in as much that they need the training, tools and pay to do their job, and benefit of the doubt. This does not include going 🦍 💩 about Coronavirus rules.
