Call them the cops, the fuzz... whatever. These are the guys who go out the door every morning leaving behind a spouse, maybe a couple of kids and knowing that they may not ever see their family again because they could lose their life that day saving yours. These are the guys who show up at 2:00 AM to domestic violence cases, who watch people die from drug overdoses, who see the blood and guts of mayhem on a regular basis. These are also the guys who deliver babies in the back seats of patrol cars.
These are the guys who have to have a degree in criminal justice to get their jobs, followed by an intensive Peace Officer Standard Training course and they have to pass a probing psychological exam.
When you get a venomous, foul-mouthed, meathead of a mayor like De Blasio who rants outrageous accusations that all cops are no-good racists, it's no wonder that the Police Union sends out notice that he'd better not ever show up at any funeral for any cop. Having a man of such prominence make such accusations shows not only disrespect for the men and women in blue, but encourages civil disobedience and further endangers police lives.
Law enforcement personnel should be held to high standards; I agree with that. But, they should also be held in very high esteem.
If you want t accuse anybody of racism in this country, you have to first start with the White House.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
