A couple years ago a friend of mine was murdered. The local PDs cancelled all leaves and every single cop in the area went into overtime mode until the bastards who did this were caught.
Listen, before this happened my attitude was: "If you wanna be a Dudly-Do-Right sort of person, be a paramedic or be a fireman. If instead you want to be an asshole then go and get yourself a job as a cop". That was then.....
Now, after I saw my local Police Department, and all the other local Police Departments in action getting those f**kers who killed my friend, my attitude is, and will remain: "It's not what they do TO you, it's what they do FOR you that REALLY counts!"
It is too bad that it took me so long before I had my come to Jesus moment in my thinking. There are a lot of bad feelings
directed against those who put their lives on the line to do a job that they know will anger many who see them in the rear-view mirror, that will never change.
It's when you have to dial 911 desperate for a cop to rescue you, it's when they are first on the scene, pulling your loved ones from a burning vehicle, it's when they find and return your lost kid, its when they catch that son of a bitch who raped your daughter, it's when they catch the bastards that murdered your friend, that is when you will understand: It's not what they do to you, it truly is what they do for you that counts. For me, well my hat is off to them.
Oh and contrary to popular belief, not every cop is a bad cop, as a matter of fact, most of them are pretty dam good.
