Police: Glue that helps hold society together
It is past time that the media as well as all clear-thinking citizens show support for the police. They are one of the glues that holds society together.
Without them, we have chaos and anarchy. Anyone can figure this out. Modify their polices and make changes to training as needed, but don’t defund or do away with police departments.
Defunding is pure stupidity! Police who go off the rails should be dealt with appropriately, but for the vast majority, they do a difficult and great job protecting us and keeping the peace.
The media should be stressing this point and pushing city mayors and councils to stand up to those who would destroy this wonderful country.
Those who resist arrest have made the decision to take their chances with physical altercation with the police. Let’s not blame those in blue for enforcing the law. Support our police like we support the military.
