Thank you to all law enforcement, especially our local law enforcement, NCPD and STPD, for all that you do. We stand behind you. Thank you for spending Christmas and every other holiday away from your own families, to keep ours safe. Thank you for keeping my store and our employees safe. Thank you for putting on your uniform every day, and stepping outside, putting your lives on the line for all of us. You see things in one day that most of us would not want to see in a lifetime. Despite everything that is going on in this country, you are the ones who are keeping it together. Stand tall. Stand strong. Stand proud. We support you. It is the police officer - not the reporter, who protects freedom of the press. It is the police officer - not the poet, who guards our freedom of speech. It is the armed police officer, training in the use of deadly force, ready to defend the innocent against aggression and the weak against the violent, standing ready to serve and protect even with his life if necessary. It is the police officer who preserves your rights to keep and bare arms. It is the police officer - not the politician, who insures freedom of assembly. It is the police officer - not the campus organizer, who safeguards the freedom to demonstrate. It is the police officer - not the defense attorney, who reads Miranda warnings and informs defendants of inalienable rights. It is the police officer who is willing to disclose all evidence, even evidence which may weaken a case, in order to protect the innocent and insure that justice shall prevail. It is the police officer - not the preacher, who safeguards our liberties, including freedom of religion. It is the police officer - not the judges, who seeks out witnesses, thus preserving rights of the accused. It is the police officer, who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag. It is the police officer, who vigilantly serves the public, protecting society from evil, and preserving all our freedoms.
