It is absolutely a reflection on me when cops are painted with such a broad brush due to a few bad cops actions. Like I say, you never read about the hundreds of thousands of positive interactions people have with cops every day. You read about the one cop who screwed up that day.

Jeez I just wish I could write what I have seen firemen do in my day. Ha! But I don't want to ruin the heros reputations.

Then post those stories. I’m sorry you can’t see your posts, how they look. Very defensive. The antidote is post your own.

Ha. Nobody writes about when people do their jobs correctly. So there is nothing to post. But I will be penning a vanity tomorrow. Stay tuned!

I have a brother who is retired from the FHP, he was a Major. Everyone except the newest recruits knew him, I think.
He was a great cop, although I don’t know any personal stories.

My late husband was a military cop. I know a few personal and interesting (positive) stories, but would have to think about them and remember.

My grandfather was a cop in Dexter GA, he was killed on the job. He’s on the county, state and national memorials.

My brother in law....he was a terrible husband....well, he was married to my sister, so maybe he never stood a chance. But I assume he was a good cop.

My uncle Glenn, two brothers, all cops in the AF.

I know good cops. Of course there are plenty. But there are also bad ones.
