I was a Police Officer

I Was A Police Officer

Today, I will not answer the radio call that your boyfriend has come home drunk and is beating you again.

Today I will not answer the radio call that your 16 year old daughter, who is very responsible, is four hours late coming home from school.

Today I will not answer the radio call that your store has been robbed or your house has been burglarized.

Today I will not stop a drunk driver from killing someone. I will not catch a rapist or a murderer or a car thief.

Today I will not answer the radio call that a man has a gun or tried to
abduct a child or that someone has been stabbed or has been in a terrible accident.

Today I will not save your child that you locked in a car or the child you
were too busy to watch who went outside and fell into the swimming pool, but that I revived. No, today I will not do that.

Why?

Today, I was suspended from duty for doing my job, because the media, liberals, a community organizer, a lawyer who formally represented terrorists and is the US attorney-general and a mayor who ran on an anti-police agenda, who are all advised by a drug dealer, liar and income tax cheat. AND, all who know nothing about Policing, have vilified my profession.

Because -

Today I was killed by a drunk driver while I was helping push a disabled car off the highway.

Today I was shot and killed during a routine traffic stop to simply tell
someone that they had a taillight out.

Today I was killed in a traffic accident rushing to help a citizen.

Today I was shot and killed serving a warrant on a known drug dealer.

Today I was killed by a man when I came by to do a welfare check because his family was too busy.

Today I was killed trying to stop a bank robbery or a grocery store robbery.

Today I was killed doing my job.

A chaplain and an officer will go to a house and tell a mom and dad or a
wife or husband or a child that their son or daughter or husband or wife or father or mother won't be coming home today. The flags at many police stations were flown at half-mast today but most people won't know why. There will be a funeral and my fellow officers will come, a twenty-one-gun salute will be given, and taps will be played as I am laid to rest. My name will be put on a plaque, on a wall, in a building, in a city somewhere. A folded flag will be placed on a mantel or a bookcase in a home somewhere and a family will mourn.

There will be no cries for justice. There will be no riots in the streets.
There will be no officers marching, screaming "No justice, no peace." No citizens will scream that something must be done. No windows will be smashed, no cars burned, no stones thrown, no names called. Only someone crying themselves to sleep tonight will be the only sign that I was cared about.

I was a police officer.

Oooooooookay....... I for one, have no issues with good cops, only those who act above the law.

Quicksilver-SS · 05-14-2015, 10:38 PM

Such a powerful message. RIP officers and military personnel that keep our country strong and safe.
Damn those that want to hurt our peacekeepers , the ones that gave all to keep us safe and our freedoms free.
Without our peace keepers, America would not exist as we know Her .
Thank you for your service.

The issue is the actions of a few don't represent the whole. How many people on this site talk about how they hate all LEOs just because they had one bad encounter?

Two of my good friends are cops... you could not pay me enough...btw they don't get paid squat for what go through..
On the other had two more of my good friends are firemen, they get paid twice as much and people worship them..

I find this post AMUSING to say the least. Amazing that the general public gets up in arms when cops are lumped in together yet they are the same crowd that lumps EVERYONE else in together. As a vet of the USMC I have several close friends in law enforcement, 3 of which that have advanced to an exceptional level at that pentagon place you might have heard of. I have another who's an Investigative agent but he investigates cops. Oh the horror stories he's told. I mean cops are REGULAR people, not gods. They have issues personal and work related, there are drunkard cops, drug abusing cops, good cops, criminal minded cops, rapist cops and homicidal cops.

Anti-police agenda? Really in a city that has paid out6 million in settlements in just 3 yrs! In a country that has allowed law enforcement to ALWAYS be judge jury and executioner against is citizens of minority status! I mean those are cops putting dogs on protesters in the 40's,50's, 60's and 70's as black were marching and protesting for equality right? Or were they just people dressed as cops as some elaborate prank to make them all look bad? Those were cops beating the crap out of Rodney King, no? The many other THOUSANDS of instances where they're caught on camera but STILL get to deny? If anyone has an agenda IT IS COPS! AS the book called slavery by another name plainly describes how COPS arrested millions of black folks for such harsh crimes as VAGRANCY and imprisoned them to 'work' of their debt at such places as the Tennessee Railroad and coal mine. Or the THOUSANDS of cases and THE BILLIONS of dollars paid out to VICTIMS of unacceptable police brutality. As a TAXPAYER and former vet I'd appreciate every cop with your mentality to QUIT because we taxpayers foot the bill for your overzealous, cowardice actions. And spare me the dangerous job crap, its not even top 10. And no I'm not anti cop cop, Im anti dangerous criminal cop who's always SCARED on his job, the racial profiler cop, the lying cop, the I was picked on as a KID now Im exacting revenge cop, the not caring about human life cop, and especially the raycist cop. Oh yeah the new breed of the go-fund cop.. these guys are hilarious.

In before the lock. Good thoughts OP.

Sigelitest · 05-15-2015, 10:43 AM

this should be interesting.

FenwickHockey65 · 05-15-2015, 10:50 AM

As someone who literally just started the process of becoming an LEO the other day, this thread should be amusing to say the least.
