SUPPORT POLICE

I am sick of hearing the general public bad-mouth the Los Angeles Police Department or policemen in general.

Most of the people doing all the criticizing have no clue what it is like to be a police officer on the streets with all the criminals there.

Our country is in a lot of trouble right now for a lot of reasons.

We cannot lose faith in our police officers. There are a lot of good ones out there. They deserve our support.
