Thin Blue Line

Since July 7th, at least 10 American law enforcement officers have been killed by gunfire in the line of duty, with many other being wounded.

 

My father is a police Sergeant, so I can attest to the extreme difficulties police face everyday. While not all police are honorable (as it is in all professions), the majority are just as much heroes as out military veterans. They are often treated like dirt by people they deal with everyday, encounter very traumatic situations on a regular basis, and face the reality that the next traffic stop could end their life. A significant percentage of officers struggle with PTSD, but usually don't ever receive any form of treatment. Their job is tough enough without having to worry about being gunned down simply for wearing the badge. I ask you to support American police officers in this time, and pray that peace would come to our country.

 

The top black line represents the public, the blue line represents law enforcement, and the bottom black line represents criminals. The Blue Line is all that stands between the two.
