Police officers deserve respect

First Posted: 1/5/2015

I very much support our local police and sheriff departments.

The federal government is the ones I do not trust, especially with Barack Obama as our president and Eric Holder as attorney general. These two race-baiters would want nothing more than to take away our local control of our police and sheriff departments and put them under control of the federal government.

I as a working taxpayer want the local police and sheriff departments to do their jobs as they do to protect my elderly and young neighbors. For instance, if a young man is intoxicated and has drugs in his system and walking in my neighborhood at 3 a.m. I would want law enforcement to investigate what he is up to. We as taxpaying Americans have rights also to be protected from thugs.

And, I as a protester on Interstate 75 and Reservoir Road overpass know that local law enforcement respect my First Amendment rights to protest as long as I do not infringe on other people’s rights by impeding traffic or trashing the public’s overpass.

So I want to thank our local law enforcement for a job well done.
