National Law Enforcement Memorial Week



Monday is National Law Enforcement Memorial Day, and is also the beginning of National Police Week.

If you haven't thanked a police officer for working shitty hours, for mediocre pay, and putting up with other peoples' bullshit, then this week would be a good time to do it. Honor those men and women who run towards danger when others run away. Honor those who unlock your cars, chase snakes out of your garage, arrest drunks, and die trying to serve their communities.

Of course, you are probably one of those people who don't even think about cops unless you need one. Or, you criticize the police for not stopping speeders in your neighborhood, and then you bitch when you get stopped and issued a ticket for speeding in somebody else's neighborhood.
