What are your thoughts on the police?
My father is a retired beat cop, worked in petty crime and generally maintaining public order, so police officers have my respect. You?
They definetly have my respect.  My husband works for the state police as a civilian but still works for them.  I feel bad that it is so hard for them these days
I agree. My father got out before it got too rough with all the police brutality featured on the news. Fortunately, he worked in a small town in Louisiana, so the community really supported the force.
I couldn't imagine going to work everyday and not knowing how you will be treated.  You have to act a certain way but now everyone is judging them so it is hard.
And it makes there jobs so much more dangerous when they are targeted by the public. My father always tried to work to assist community members not punish them.
exactly people dont realize that they are there to help them.  If they would simply listen and not fight things would go alot easier
I hope that mentality would be more pervasive, so that police officers can carry out their oath to protect and serve along with their other duties safely.
