Domestic Violence and Police Don't Mix

A comment was left on my previous post by an extremely content filled blog called Behind The Blue Wall .

My reply to that comment will be the subject of my early morning post today.

Cloud, the author of this well documented blog about domestic violence committed by police , got me thinking as to how I display myself when I make posts that bash cops.

I am not racist against police.  Even though that's like saying that cops are a race, all their own.  Which sometimes.....I wonder.

I agree that not all cops are bad. But I also don't believe they are anything close to a hero.

They are paid to respond, and are equipped with a weapon, which makes them the "most capable" individuals to alert in an emergency.

It is the unarmed, plain clothes citizen, who comes to the rescue, armed with nothing but courage and love for his fellow human..........those are heroes.

I believe that, it is not the person, it is the uniform that transforms this trusted profession of "serve and protect", into harrass and pass judgement.

And far too often, as  Behind The Blue Wall exhibits, it hits home.

I say these words as an American citizen with no criminal record, and zero points as a driver, having no agenda.

P.S.........The contributions made by Sting in assisting the victims of Hurricane Katrina........Maybe the Police are heroes.
