Rocker Jon Bon Jovi donned a New York Police Department T-shirt on stage. Well-wishers delivered home-baked cookies by the hundreds to police in Cincinnati. In Mooresville, North Carolina, police and sheriff's officers were treated by residents to a chili dinner.
....Becky Grizovic, of Walton, Kentucky, helps orchestrate a campaign called Cookies for a Cop that provides treats to officers in more than 200 departments in 23 states. She was joined by her husband, son and a neighbor in delivering cookies to Cincinnati police stations on Monday.
At the District 2 station house, Capt. Jeffrey Butler said the gesture was especially appreciated in light of the deaths of the two officers in New York.
"The reason that this started is that I've just been so disheartened by the news," Grizovic said in a phone interview. "I wanted to do something positive to lift their spirits because this is so hard on all of them."
Rallies and vigils in support of police have taken place recently in several locations, including Nashville, Tennessee; West Orange, New Jersey; Annapolis, Maryland, and New York City's Riverdale neighborhood.
Among those gathering Monday night in Nashville was Merri Puckett, a retired police officer.
"The police are really taking a hard hit right now," she told The Tennessean newspaper. "Ninety-nine percent of the officers out there are doing a good job, and it's a thankless job and they need to know that the public supports them."
In Minden, Nevada, there was a one-man rally in support of local officers.
John Munk, a retired sheriff's deputy, stood in front of the post office with a sign reading, "God Bless Law Enforcement."

The rest of the folks, though, get my thumbs up.
ABC can cram it, too. They perpetuate the Obama myth.
Maybe we FREEPers can do something for local cops and post our actions here—just to encourage others to do the same.
I know there are some bad cops out there.
Most are good men and women though.
Typical leftist BS. Feigning support for law enforcement, the military and patriotism, in general. Makes them feel good, but the rest of us know it’s ephemeral.
ABC can go straight without passing go to hell. They are professional propagandists and enemies of the American people worthy of Soviet Russia.
Hockey fans are primarily a bunch of white racists, so his event was like preaching to the choir. /s
Hockey fans are a breed apart.

Two faced bastards like thier leaders holder obama sharpton and jesse. After they cause a problem they are the first to run to the media to announce they are for you. You made the bed you will now sleep in it
You posted that earlier as a thread and it got pulled.
Do you know WHY Warner Todd Huston isn’t welcome here?
Guess you don’t care..
But the media has been telling us to hate cops. I is confused.
Why is that? I’m not familiar with him. I’ve seen the name, but haven’t attached any significance to it. What did he do/say/write?
No respect from me until they clean their houses of all the thugs in blue, and don't tell me "it's just a few bad apples".
Have a good and blessed Merry Christmas! BYE!
I have nothing but sympathy for the dead cops and their families but, like you, I am extremely concern about the way law enforcement has changed recently.
I'm not going there...the two dead cops could very well be part of the thug gang, but we'll never know now because they'll practically be canonized.
He hates Free Republic.
Probably ought not reward him with any exposure here.
How could any cop feel easy about eating food given to them? Similar to Halloween candy—ya never know what’s inside.
Add me to that also. Tragic that cops are being targeted. They need to do a better job when one of their own breaks the law.
BS. The hispanic cop was a chaplain in training.
Quit attacking men who were executed by a Islamic racist.
I’ll question EVERYTHING. Just because this person was a “chaplain in training” doesn’t mean anything.
