As a topic debated in the media, I’ll mention my thoughts on
our policemen and women. The majority of
police officers are upstanding people doing an extremely difficult job. I know I couldn’t make the split-second
decisions they have to make. I cannot
imagine the remorse they must feel when they make an error in judgment that
results in someone being harmed. Wearing
a gun isn't a responsibility I want to shoulder, much less wear one as part of
my job. I cannot imagine a society without
the peace-keepers, so they have my admiration.
If we look at the members of police forces across the
country, I’m sure you will find officers representing all races, genders, and
economic standings. Our local police
force is us, maybe not with statistical precision, but they are a product of
our local communities. Within the
country-wide police community, there are some that use the power that comes
with a badge to take advantage. No
question that these officers exist and they should be held accountable for
their misconduct. Just like the rest of
us, there are good and bad.
