The police need us right now: With police under attack in many places, it's critical for good citizens to show police their support.
American Thinker ^ | 09/15/2020 | Marie Richter

The Democrats have thrown the police under the bus and are unleashing their goons on America.

The police are now being hunted out in the open and are being shot in cold blood. Rioters, meanwhile, are physically obstructing life-saving care to downed officers, and some are laughing.

How can law enforcement continue to protect us if we don't speak out in their defense? Speak up, America, and fight for the protectors.

Voices come in many forms. Millions of whispers and gestures can conquer thousands of screamers and slammers.

Tell local law enforcement that you support them and appreciate them. Send letters and cards thanking your town's police. Get your thin-blue-line gear on and flags out. Write local and state elected officials in support of pro-police policies, legislation, and funding before it is on their chopping block agenda. Help out a police family. Support a police spouse. Contribute to police organizations. Let your schools know that you support school resource officers. Start a scholarship for children of police. Participate in a pro-police rally. Pray for the police. Remember and honor fallen officers. Seek out and support pro-police candidates in your town, region, and state. Get out the vote for law enforcement candidates. Get together with pro-police friends to share ideas and actionable steps. Tell the child of an officer how proud you are of his mom and dad.

President Trump is the number-one law-and-order leader in our nation. But he needs all of our voices and votes to save our police, and in turn save our families, communities, and nation from the deadly goons. We need to protect the protectors. Let your voices be heard.

When I drive around York (PA), and see a patrol car/SUV, I pull over to it, both hands of the steering wheel (I CCW daily), and tell the officer, “Thank you for what you do for us, and please stay safe.” It always brings a smile to their faces, and they thank me.

Pass

Why would I support someone who preys on me just to raise money for his city/town?

SO they can sit back and do nothing but watch Antifa destroy statues and buildings, while eagerly writing me a ticket for doing 35 on a 4 lane highway?

Check out coinsforkindness.com

They are a brand new company set up to make small challenge coins including some for first responders to give them as a token of gratitude.

Full disclosure, the owner is a buddy of mine. I just got my first batch but haven’t given any out yet.

Because they are TOLD to do so by their town mayors, governors and the powers that be. NOT showing your support to your local police simply ENCOURAGES these nutcase people in government to continue their destructive policies. You won’t have a peaceful country to talk about if this spreads everywhere.

When the police refuse and quit their jobs/pensions rather than support the ruling class oligarchs/’Rat politicians, i’ll “support” the police. Until then forget it.

Why were you going that slow on a four way highway?
My car is almost 30 but I try to keep it above 45 so I don’t get run over.

In these cities affected by satanic marxists, the police are cowering in fear.

If they are allowed to get away with that, America needs to apologize to the deputy who hid outside that school while students were being murdered.

The speed limit was 25 in that town.

The town next to me the speed limit through town is 25, my town is 35mph. Right at the border of my town is a big 35mph Speed limit sign, what the low lives in the other town do is wait right by the border and God forbid if you accelerate 2 seconds before reaching the 35mph sign or if you are coming the other way if you don’t slam your breaks and immediately slow down to 25 when you cross the border they will nail you.

Just think what kind of a person you must be to actually hand out tickets and ruin people’s day enforcing such nonsense. You want me to support someone like that?

No. I thought you were talking about a 4 lane highway.

2 lanes each side. Yeah, the town keeps it at 25 mph even though it could safely be 50.
