I'm out of this discussion because I am finding it harder and harder to be dispassionate.
My son is a policeman and an army reservist, his reserve unit was just activated and he is going to Ft. Lewis, Washington on 18 Aug. he will be there for three weeks and from there will go to Iraq for a year or more.
I know I am not being objective but he is the most honest kid (28 years old) I have ever met. He doesn't have a corrupt bone in his body. He is my hero and I am supremely proud of him.
Those among you who are believers in prayer, please remember my son Steve and pray for his safe return.

I will say prayers for your son Steve! I am happy to report that like you, I am also proud of the policeman in my life. We've been married twelve years now and there isn't a corrupt bone in his body!

BTW....I have found that people who hate and condemn cops, only do this because they were turned down when applying to become a cop. Not all cop haters mind you, but some! :-}

Unfortunately that's what happens at FR these days, any time something comes up about a cop allegedly doing something wrong the cophating whackos come out.

It's perfectly reasonable to hold a bad cop accountable on an individual basis. But the endictment of the entire profession is just ugly baseless slander, and reflects far more on those who make the comments than those at whom they are directed.

In fact if experience is a reasonable basis as these whackos claim. It is MY experience that most who hate cops are criminals and n'ere do wells. Its not surprising that evil hates good, and masquarades as a victim, sometimes even here.

Your son sounds like the kind of person who makes this country a better place. You should be proud and pay no heed to the agenda-filled foaming malcontents and mini-Sharptons here that have never done anything worthwhile and are a waste of the air they breathe.
