Michael Brown. Eric Garner. Tamir Rice. Wenjian Liu. Rafael Ramos.
These are just a few of the lives that have been claimed by officer-civilian shootings over the last three years. What happened during these incidents can be disputed — the fact that they’ve had an enormous impact on this nation cannot.
Though officer attacks and ambushes are rare, the effect of high-profile civilian deaths has drawn attention to the public perception of those working in law enforcement.
Amid all the tension, including an overwhelming amount of anti-police protests, is the desire to work in law enforcement diminishing? |

| Sort of "self-fulfilling prophecy" for the race-baiters, hate mongers and anti-social forces. But a predictable one. If we permit continued degradation and harassment of LEOs, we will only get a force of opportunists and extornitionist careerists sans any degree of duty, service or community. We've seen this manifold times before. But we seem hell bent on repeating the mistakes of our fathers. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
