I've been watching the TV show Chicago PD, and their episodes lately revolve around the theme of white police officers being racists who kill black men. (No, I won't continue to watch it.) This week's episode was over the top disgusting, with a white police officer flat out murdering a black male college student. At the end of the episode they tried to drive home the lie that whether they realize it or not, white police officers are racists and it's just a matter of time before more of them murder black men.
I'm not naive and understand that as in any group there are bad police officers, but the overwhelming majority of them are good, selfless men and women who have volunteered to place themselves between us and the criminals who would do us harm. Being a LEO has always been a difficult job, but is now even more difficult with them being under attack by the politicians, media and people on the left. I know that here and on THR there are current and former LEO's, and I just wanted to say thank you. We may not be as vocal as the detractors, but the majority of the country appreciates and supports you.
