Dear Law Enforcement,
Your work goes unnoticed almost every single day. The public abuse and mistreat you with every single circumstance, and they take you for granted. Hardly do you ever hear anyone simply thank you for your hard work, your patience (because I know it runs thin), and your dedication for making sure that myself as well as my peers are safe everyday. Although most would knock you down with hateful words and bashing, I want to thank you.
Thank you for waking up each morning and choosing the decision to risk your life at work. Thank you for taking that call, when someone else could have done it. Thank you for patrolling our cities and making sure things run smoothly everyday. Thank you for your professionalism, although situations were rough. Thank you for your patience with my town and everywhere else. Thank you for your road blocks to ensure our roads are safe. Thank you for being someone's friend when they need it. Thank you for everything. Shoot, I even thank you for the ticket I got when I was 16! (I can assure you that I haven't gotten anymore.)
As I said before, people take advantage of your work and dedication everyday. The media gives you a bad name, therefor giving all law enforcement officers a nasty reputation regardless of how amazing you really are. With all the recent rioting and bashing, I cannot explain the sympathy and concern that overwhelms my heart for you and your families. Just know that through this tough time, I support you guys through it all. I am lucky, and thankful, enough to be raised in a home to respect law and law enforcement officers. Although I have not encountered many situations that involved law enforcement, I know with respect and compliance that I am in great hands with you guys. Most people forget about your authority and mock you as a joke, and I am deeply sorry. I wish for nothing more than to have our country back to respect our officers and obey our laws.
Black lives matter, white lives matter, brown lives matter, purple (or green or blue) lives matter, and importantly, your lives matter. All lives matter. This isn't a color race or debate anymore. The catastrophe that our country is dealing with is out of pure hate, which has no color.
Again, simply, I can never thank or repay you enough for all your hard work and determination. Your decisions everyday represent every city, state, and even the country, and even under stressful circumstances, you guys come out on top. You keep our streets safe and peace amongst enemies. Regardless of what media says, keep up the great work in our communities and God bless.
