Joel 2:30-31 KJV And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.

Seen on Main Street - East Aurora NY
I photographed this young woman in front of Mister's during a Patriot Rally.
Montclair, California police officers detaining juveniles who don't look too upset about the situation.
As we hear about the attack on our brave officers in Baton Rouge I support our police force and thank them for all they do.
The mural is on the Mercantile Building in the Historic Third Ward, 220 E. Buffalo St., it reads, "Choose A Positive Thought."
The mural was completed on June 19 2013 and was painted by local painter Fred Zabel.
The "Blue Lives Matter" campaign in the United States was a pro-police, Trumpist "Law & Order" reaction to the "Black Lives Matter" movement which was started in protest of endemic police brutality targeting blacks and other minorities.

Strathclyde Police was the territorial police force responsible for the Scottish council areas of Argyll and Bute, City of Glasgow, East Ayrshire, East Dunbartonshire, East Renfrewshire, Inverclyde, North Ayrshire, North Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, South Ayrshire, South Lanarkshire and West Dunbartonshire (The former Strathclyde local government region) between 1975 and 2013. The Police Authority contained members from each of these authorities.
Strathclyde Police had the largest numbers of staff and served the largest population and the second largest area of the eight former Scottish police forces, after the Northern Constabulary.
An Act of the Scottish Parliament, the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012, created a single Police Service of Scotland—known as Police Scotland—with effect from 1 April 2013. This act merged the eight regional police forces in Scotland (including Strathclyde Police), together with the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency, into a single service covering the whole of Scotland.
The force was portrayed in the television series Taggart.

Member of the U.S. Customs pistol team firing from the 50-yard line. Match hosted by Norman Police Department. I back the Blue, hope you do, too.
Going back a bit better than a decade....Bellingham Police, old livery. At the Justice Centre in Bellingham
I photographed this USDA United States Forest Service 2015-2019 Chevrolet Tahoe in Carson City, NV. Note the twin siren speakers in front. This K9 unit has alot more ground clearance than most other Tahoe's so it either has GM's Z71 off-road package or a suspension lift kit. I usually detest clear LED lightbars but this one with the blacked out top looks quite good.

We walked over the bridge and it was surprisingly windy. I'm not a fan of heights but made it over.

Blue Lives Matter - All Lives Matter
The Richard V. Woods Memorial Bridge, (known locally as the Woods Bridge) is a swing bridge that connects downtown Beaufort with Lady's Island and the outer Sea Islands in Beaufort County, South Carolina. The bridge is named in memory of Richard V. Woods (1935–1969), who was a South Carolina Highway Patrol officer killed in the line of duty and was opened on December 17, 1959, having replaced an earlier swing-bridge that was built 1927.
The bridge swings on its central axis to open for boat traffic which is too tall to clear the bridge, and has an operator's station in the center of the span from which an attendant can operate the bridge. Due to the presence of the Intracoastal Waterway, the bridge is required to frequently open for boat traffic to pass through.
The bridge was featured in the film Forrest Gump (1994) as a stand-in for a bridge across the Mississippi River. In the film, Forrest Gump is interviewed by television reporters about his cross-country running trip while crossing the bridge.

This is a 1980-1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria patrol car. Not my photo, belongs to the Nevada DPS Highway Patrol department.
This member of New York's finest has the thankless job of keeping an eye on the thousands of Times Square tourists that pass through each day. I wonder if she realized that the 't" is missing from her precinct badge.
Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. This is probably a 2000-2011 model.
35mm scans taken pre-2010 in Half Moon Bay. 1997-1999 GMC Suburban base model. I really like the clean lines and understated styling of the 1988-1999\2000 GMT400 pickups and suv's.
From 2004...I think then Chief Jamie Graham had a lot of fun with his job. I was never able to find out the details on these cars, or even the reason behind them...I reckon it had to do with public engagement, and was a facet of the new Public Relations section that Chief Graham created. I do recall at the time that there was an assurance from the Mayor that no public funds were expended.
No matter, it was really cool to drive by and see these.

This ICE agent traveled a thousand miles to compete in the Dale DeBerry Memorial Regional PPC match held in Norman. Seems ICE is the most maligned agency in the country. I met several and all were first class men and citizens.
Back the Blue-- and that includes ICE.

While the Municipal Enforcement Officers in Yellowknife are not armed, they are in fact Peace Officers with a very broad mandate. They are well trained and vetted, and comport themselves as Law Enforcement Officers. They are professional, competent and are an integral part of the Public Safety profession.
This is an entirely different model than that found in British Columbia, and while it would be good to see it here, it would require a complete cultural shift and wholesale change.
