careful about lumping any group together. What has happened in <br>
Minnesota and other places involving police officers is appalling. <br>
However, just as we can't group all the protesters and looters together, <br>
we can not group all police officers as a group of racist and violent <br>
individuals. I have a relative and know several police officers. These <br>
individuals are caring and open minded people who would not do these <br>
things and would not stand by and let them happen.<br>
<br>
Thanks Phil for mentioning about what we are willing (or not willing) to <br>
do to have the kind of police officers we want. Like our schools, <br>
because our police and fire departments are paid for with taxes. And <br>
most people don't like paying taxes. My relative and his family realize <br>
that when he leaves for work, he may not come home. Or may end up <br>
seriously injured. How many of us deal with that thought each day we go <br>
to work.? Talk with police officers. Know what they are about, their <br>
constant fears.<br>
<br>
Sorry for the rambling thoughts,<br>
