Let me start by saying that law enforcement is a calling. It isn't something you just wake up one day and decide to do just to have a job; it is a career choice that you are called to do and know you want to make a life out of. I might not have been in law enforcement too long, and I might not be out on the roads yet, BUT I love my job. I am passionate about my job. And I am passionate about serving the community. I care about people, and when the wolf comes barking I will readily run towards the threat to protect the sheep. When I say that, notice I did not say I will run to protect a certain race. I run to protect you regardless of the color of your skin, your age, your religion, your sexuality, or any other factor that makes you different from me. I run to protect you because I am the sheep dog. I fight the evil so that you don't have to. For the rest of my life as long as I am able I will willingly run to aid the weak and those in need because that is what I love doing. Are there corrupt officers? Sure, just as well as there are corrupt doctors and corrupt construction workers. Every profession has them and we all know it. I understand that as law enforcement officers we are viewed a little more harshly when corruption shows itself because we are in a position of authority; however, 1 corrupt doctor doesn't make you stop going to get health care and 1 corrupt construction worker doesn't mean you decide to be homeless. Therefore, 1 corrupt law enforcement officer shouldn't make you decide to kill all of the others. I am disgusted at how many officers are being mercilessly murdered for the actions of others that are out of their control. I'm not in fear; I will not run, but I mourn for these officers, family members, and friends that are grieving these losses for vengeful actions taken out on the wrong ones. As a person that wants to spend the rest of their life protecting the sheep, I have no greater desire than to be one of the few that makes the difference. That shows citizens that I am here to protect all. If I should die in the process of doing so, then I will fall doing what I love with honor, and I would have it no other way. So I'll finish by saying that I am a white law enforcement officer. I bleed blue. I love my profession, and I couldn't see myself doing anything else. But I also bleed red. I am human, and I am willing to protect and die for any other human no matter what. You call, and I'll answer. No matter how late or early, no matter how small the threat may seem, I will be there, because that is the vow I have taken by choosing this profession. God bless you all, God bless this country, and God bless my brothers and sisters in blue.
