It's no small secret that I am a large supporter of the individuals in blue. But I don't always agree with their actions. I am well aware that there are officers that make bad decisions and actions. But in general I believe that in most all situations if you help them they will do their best to safely remedy a situation.
Maybe he was a good kid. But maybe he had a bad moment. We have all had our dumb moments and had to pay for them.
Don't have a dumb moment with an officer. The situations that they have to deal with are the ones that keep them going home to their families every night. Don't put them in a position to have to make a decision like that. Help them and they will help you.
I have been harassed by officers and received tickets that were unjust. But I'm not in their shoes and I don't do their job. My complaints are minuscule compared to what they risk for our safety.
