Presently we have anarchy, mob rule, destruction of property, loss of businesses/Property, injury, loss of life, etc. in many of our major cities. In these cities elected officials, mayors, police chiefs, commissioners, governors, etc. took a sworn oath to protect and defend the citizens and the Constitution of the United States. These elected officials have violated their oath and demonstrated lack of leader ship to restore law and order and protect the people. In many cases the police organizations are being restrained by elected officials at the peril of innocent citizens. This is a tragedy that must immediately be corrected to restore law and order and insure equal treatment under the law (and liberty) to all citizens.
Law enforcement officers, men and women, are being demonized for a false narrative. Law-enforcement officers risk their lives every day to protect and serve their fellow citizens without regard to race, religion or creed. They are brave individuals who do a lot of difficult work under very trying conditions. They are being painted as racist and this is a false narrative. Many times private citizens make the job of law-enforcement officers more difficult. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could make the job of a police officer a little easier by being respectful and obeying the law. As law abiding citizens, we can and should improve our attitude when encountering and dealing with the police - do not make it controversial - show respect! That would go along way toward improving relations. Respect is a Two Way Street. The police are being totally disrespected and demonized by a large portion of our community including our political, media and other organizational leaders. This mob rule has resulted in horific damage to our civil society – rioting, looting, vandalism, loss of property/business/livelihood, injury, death including injury to approximately 800 police officers and some have died protecting the people they serve.
I am a proud patriotic citizen and a US Navy veteran who served during the Vietnam war. Again there were many who disrespected the military and publicly denounce them including many politicians, leaders and the media. The disrespect to the military during that period was shameful at best. It was disgraceful!
The police are very dedicated, patriotic and serve all the citizens equally and provide equal justice under the law. I want to recognize them and will thank each police officer that I see/meet for their service and dedication in keeping us safe and free. I urge everyone to support the police and recognize their performance.
As with any organization there are a few bad apples that must be weeded out. Civilian organizations experience the same problem and probably to a larger extent than the police organizations. The police vetting does not catch all of the bad apples, but they try.
Weeding out the bad apples that are entrenched requires hard work by the supervisors in the organization. It is made more difficult by less than dedicated (lazy) supervisors and by public employee unions. Public employee unions basically serve very little purpose in a public organization and make it extremely difficult to remove bad apples. We must limit the power of the police unions (I believe President Roosevelt and others were against public employee unions). Removing an individual requires investigation, continual documentation, review and analysis of the individual’s performance/record and action by the supervisor. It requires hard working dedicated supervisors that do not pass a bad apple to another organization just to get rid of them. The organization that has this individual must keep him and deal with him. That is the true measure of a supervisor/manager/leader. Supervisors must also be objectively evaluated for their leadership & management skills. The entire police organization must be striving for improvement individually and for the good of the organization!!!
Police organizations are basically not racist. Every ethnicity can be found in a police department and in fact many are headed up by minority ethnicities including police chiefs, police commissioners as well as mayors and others. There is some racism in every race and ethnicity, but they are in the minority.
Good policing practices and policies are the hallmark of our police organizations. To be sure they can be tweaked and improved, but to disrespect the police is not warranted. Managing the police is primarily a local responsibility/issue & must be done by the local leaders. Local police chiefs & commissioners must direct the effort and guide the direction of the police organizations. It is their responsibility guide their department with good policing practices resulting in equal justice for all under the law!!! They must work with the local mayors & leaders to achieve optimum results. Police chiefs, commissioners & police leaders must stand up and be heard when local pollical leaders, mayors, etc. violate good police practices by allowing rioting, looting, vandalism, destruction, occupation of property and lawlessness. It is up the local leaders to get this under control. If not State then Federal should help in restoring law and order. Funding should be at the local level, not Federal. Leadership and sanity must prevail so that we have law and order, a civil society. This is the no. 1 priority for the country!! What we have is anarchy!!!
The major problem is not a police problem, but a criminal problem. Unlawful & criminal acts/behavior must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law!!! Equal treatment under the law!! Suspected criminals and those accused must be properly and thoroughly investigated and tried as appropriate. Prosecutors must objectively search for the truth (no political judgements before case/defendant is charged and tried).
We must stand up for the flag and support our wonderful country. If not we will lose freedom, democracy, liberty including equality and equal treatment under the law. There is no country on the planet that has equality, liberty and freedom for all as we enjoy in the United States!! Stand up for the USA!!!
Preserve our heritage, culture and society – mob rule has resulted in defacing, destruction & removal of monuments, statues, artifacts/art, etc.
This is disgraceful – Stand up for America!!!
Honor the founding fathers and those Americans who fought and died for it!! Stand up for the flag – don’t burn it!!!!!
