People don’t usually thank police officers, warrant officers, or search & rescue personnel for their service. And if they do it’s certainly not every time they eat out or go shopping.
Don’t they deserve to be showered with trendy service slogans for a job they get paid for and benefits from, too??
Absolutely, Police Officers deserve thanks and recognition too. The big difference is, me, personally, I don’t go out of my way attracting the attention of any police officer. If I have been working with someone on the force to resolve a legal matter, then yes, in private, as a one to one communication with someone who already knows me, that sort of Officer I will thank. Otherwise, they may wonder ‘What the hell is this guy so ‘happy’ about? Is he compensating out of guilt?”
