We are truly blessed to live in a nation filled with an abundance of freedom and opportunity that allow us to pursue lives down the paths of our own choosing. Yet, those freedoms and opportunities are only possible if they are preserved and defended.
Our freedom and liberty are preserved and defended domestically by the rule of law and laws are only as good as their enforcement. There will always be those who, for their own benefit, choose to disregard the laws that we as a society have created.
Law enforcement officers are the only thing preventing this land of freedom and opportunity from disintegrating into a land of chaos and violence. They are truly, our front line of defense and that thin blue line is being stressed now more than ever. Law enforcement is under attack in our country.
Those who enjoy the very protections and freedoms that our police make possible have become increasingly eager to scrutinize, criticize and attack the very people who protect them. They cowardly hide behind that thin blue line of protection and analyze every split second decision officers are forced to make, usually focusing on one small snippet of footage or information while being oblivious to the total situation as it existed. Worse yet, rather than seeking an analysis of the facts when questions arise, there is a growing propensity to incite others and evoke violence.
