"I have pulled dead, mangled bodies from cars.
I have lied to people as they were dying.
I said you are going to be fine as I held their hand and watched the life fade out.
I have held dying babies. Bought lunch for people who were mentally ill and haven't eaten in a while.
I have had people try to stab me. Fought with men trying to shoot me.
I've been attacked by women while I was arresting their husband who had just severely beat them.
I have held towels on bullet wounds.
Done CPR when I knew it wouldn't help just to make family members feel better.
I have torn down doors, fought in drug houses. Chased fugitives through the woods.
I have been in high-speed car chases.
Foot chases across an interstate during rush hour traffic.
I have been in crashes. Been squeezing the trigger about to kill a man when they came to their senses and stopped. Waded through large angry crowds by myself.
Drove like a madman to help a fellow officer. Let little kids who don't have much sit in my patrol car and pretend they are a cop for their birthday.
I have taken a lot of people to jail. Given many breaks. Prayed for people I don't even know. Yes, and at times I have been "violent" when I had to be. I have been kind when I could.
I admit I have driven to some dark place and cried by myself when I was overwhelmed.
I have missed Christmas and other holidays more than I wanted to.
Every cop I know has done all these things and more for lousy pay, exhausting hours, and a short life expectancy.
We don't want your pity, I don't even ask for your respect. Just let us do our jobs without killing us"
Thank You Police Officers of#America

God Bless to all our Police Forces.And thanks for keeping us safe,while you risk your lives time and time again…❤
Thank you for your service. It is appreciated much more than you could possibly know. My prayers are with you . Be safe.
You and all men and women who do your job have my respect , and my hope that you all return home safely, at the end of every shift.
Thank you !
God bless every single one of you. I’ve never have understood how professional athletes get paid so much for just throwing or hitting a ball or whatever they do . You deserve more risking your lives for us every day. Thank you !!!!
I was a career firefighter and EMT for more than 25 years and have experienced almost all of those things. I take comfort in the fact that I helped those that I could and prayed for those i couldn’t.. I worked holidays away from my family for the first 21 years of my career. May God bless all the first responders. Stay strong because someone’s got to be there to help those in need .
Thank you for the job you do, may God bless and protect you!
Brilliantly written. I am so sick of the disrespect in our country, not only for law enforcement, but for ANYONE! God help us all, and God bless and keep our police, military, etc. safe from harm.
You deserve our respect. Thank you.
There is good and bad in every profession. The underlying hatred in this nutcase country causes us to lose the ability to separate Officer Friendly from Maniac Cop. Pray for the policemen who come into our midst. They have families and loved ones and most haven’t harmed anyone deliberately. Then you have the others who abuse their authority the dangerous angry scared cops who are in the wrong profession nevertheless. Pray hardest for them. Pray they protect and serve far away from you and yours.
God bless those men and women in blue
What a moving plea. Thank you officers for all you do.
Thank you Policeman and Police- women for every thing you do in your jobs each day and night. Missing all Holidays to keep us all safe. The story he wrote made me cry. Thank Goodness for Police and firefighters that help us each day and night as we need you always to be there! Thank you for your service and doing your job every time! 🙂
WHAT A GREAT WRITE UP GOD BLESS YOU ALL THAT ARE COPS.
May God wrap protective arms around all of you. God bless you for protecting me and my family.
Scariest job nowadays…Thank You to all our officers. I’ll always have the utmost respect for the police.👮♂️👮♀️🙏💙
Nicely expressed, officer. People that have been in the business know what sacrifices law enforcement go through..And to boot, I believe, law enforcement personnel have high divorce rates. This job is difficult on relationships. You have my respect, sir!
That’s why you’re the man for the job. Who’s better than you to do it? No one. Just keep on keepin on brother. Your rewards will multiply by the hundreds. You’ll be a better man for it, if that’s possible.
God bless you and everyone you work with ❤️❤️❤️
