I work in public safety, and the more I interact with police officers, the more I realize what a difficult, often thankless job it is. Even more so in a city as large as NYC.Marian Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14115916138435761469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980951139270141970.post-21544014006786740042017-07-15T11:51:09.136-05:002017-07-15T11:51:09.136-05:00I haven't listened to or watched the news in y...I haven't listened to or watched the news in years, but those incidents always made me conflicted. The police are heavily militarized and used for inappropriate things, but at the same time I live in a high-crime county. Just last night a local posted a video of someone sitting in the back seat of a car, behind and on the side of a police cruiser. The video depicts them raising a pistol to target the officer. It was mailed as a threat. I have zero sympathy for violent criminals, or for mobs who burn neighborhoods.<br /><br />Suffice it to say, I live in the country, and so long as I live in this area will REMAIN in the country. <br /><br />Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097908023032528200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980951139270141970.post-56174125034383275792017-07-15T10:53:29.835-05:002017-07-15T10:53:29.835-05:00reading the news, it seems like all police are hom...reading the news, it seems like all police are homicidal maniacs... it's good to see a bit of positive p r once in a while...Mudpuddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17194891656971454279noreply@blogger.com
