I’m sure your husband is a good man. There are a few good cops.
In my experience, B-Chan, it’s more than a few.
For every story such as this one, there are dozens of stories that would never make it to page 25 of the Paduca Times, let alone all the way to FreeRepublic.
No one ever hears about the cops who do their jobs with quiet competency, kindness, and professionalism, and yet, there are many, MANY who do just that. Much of what they do can seem minor, even trivial, but their actions often impact people’s lives — so even if he just helps Little Old Lady Anderson get back into her car after she’s locked herself out, it means something to Little Old Lady Anderson. Of course, such an incident would never get reported — no one else will care.
I can only imagine the ridicule this Officer Jackboot is rightfully being subjected to behind the scenes over at the stationhouse. Oh, the others probably won’t come out and say anything publicly, but I’d be my last nickel that he’s getting tormented by his fellows — and I bet he’s been invited to his last BBQ, too.
B-Chan, I hope you’ve had a wonderful Fathers Day!
Regards,
