    I was a police officer

    This is a pretty powerful statement on the current status of our police
    officers.

    Today, I will not answer the radio call that your boyfriend has come home
    drunk and is beating you again.

    Today, I will not answer the radio call that your 16 year old daughter, who
    is very responsible, is four hours late coming home from school.

    Today, I will not answer the radio call that your store has been robbed or
    your house has been burglarized.

    Today, I will not stop a drunk driver from killing someone. I will not catch
    a rapist or a murderer or a car thief.

    Today, I will not answer the radio call that a man has a gun or tried to
    abduct a child or that someone has been stabbed or has been in a terrible
    accident.

    Today, I will not save your child that you locked in a car or the child you
    were too busy to watch who went outside and fell into the swimming pool, but
    that I revived.

    No, today I will not do that.

    Why?

    Today, I was suspended from duty for doing my job, because the media,
    liberals, a community organizer, a lawyer who formally represented
    terrorists and is the US attorney general and a mayor who ran on an
    anti-police agenda, who are all advised by a drug dealer, liar and income
    tax cheat. AND, all who know nothing about Policing, have vilified my
    profession.

    Because ----

    Today, I was killed by a drunk driver while I was helping push a disabled
    car off the highway.

    Today, I was shot and killed during a routine traffic stop to simply tell
    someone that they had a taillight out.

    Today, I was killed in a traffic accident rushing to help a citizen.

    Today, I was shot and killed serving a warrant on a known drug dealer.

    Today, I was killed by a man when I came by to do a welfare check because
    his family was too busy.

    Today, I was killed trying to stop a bank robbery or a grocery store
    robbery.

    Today I was killed doing my job.
    A chaplain and an officer will go to a house and tell a mom and dad or a
    wife or husband or a child that their son or daughter or husband or wife or
    father or mother won't be coming home today.

    The flags at many police stations were flown at half-mast today but most
    people won't know why.

    There will be a funeral and my fellow officers will come, a twenty-one-gun
    salute will be given, and taps and bagpipes will be played as I am laid to
    rest.

    My name will be put on a plaque, on a wall, in a building, in a city
    somewhere.

    A folded flag will be placed on a mantel or a bookcase in a home somewhere
    and a family will mourn.

    There will be no cries for justice.
    There will be no riots in the streets.
    There will be no officers marching, screaming 'no justice, no peace.'
    No citizens will scream that something must be done.
    No windows will be smashed, no cars burned, no stones thrown, no names
    called.
    Only someone crying themselves to sleep tonight will be the only sign that I
    was cared about.

    I was a police officer .
