You have probably heard someone say “There’s never a cop around when you need one.” Law enforcement officers are widely criticized today. They never seem to be around when a crime is being committed. They are too quick to use force, would rather shoot than negotiate, are racist, corrupt, etc., etc., etc. If you are nodding your head as you read this then we have a problem. Do you really believe that ALL law enforcement personnel are corrupt, incompetent, racist, etc.? Are there some bad cops that should not be wearing a badge? Of course there are. Just like there are some bad politicians, doctors, lawyers, bosses, parents, etc. There are people in every field that should not be in positions of authority. But that does not mean that everyone in those positions is bad. Society’s responsibility is to weed out those not suitable for the job and insure that the right people replace them. Because one law enforcement officer makes a mistake or should be removed from the position, doesn’t mean all are bad, corrupt, racist, etc. Every day thousands of officers risk their lives to try to protect us from an increasingly unsafe world. The majority deserve our respect and our support even if there are a few who make mistake or should not be in that position.
