Blue Lives Matter Redux!

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty 179530

Blue Lives MatterBlue Lives Matter Redux! This is the third time in 11 days that I've posted about the fact that there appears to be a war on our police and that blue lives matter. 33 police officers have been killed this year alone.

 

I woke up this morning to the tragic news that one police officer in San Diego, California has been fatally shot in the line of duty and another is still in surgery after a shooting south of downtown San Diego. One shooting suspect is in custody. Authorities continue to search for other possible suspect(s) who are still at-large.

 

Whether this was a deliberately planned attack on police or not... the motive at this point doesn't really matter. What matters is that there are people who believe it seems to be ok to shoot police. Not by any stretch of the imagination is it ok. What matters is that the hatred and rage against our police must end.

 

I can't believe I'm the only one who today thinks that shootings of police officers every few days is an abomination in our society that needs to be stopped and stopped quickly. I can't believe I'm the only who believes this war on the bravest of our civil servants must end and I don't pretend to have any solution to this problem. But end it must!

 

Please keep the families and colleagues of both of these brave San Diego police officers in your hearts, thoughts, and prayers today and in the days to come.

Kathy Streib ~ hi Kathy... I have to believe that anyone who has family on the force is always a bit nervous, but these days it must be agonizingly so.

Wayne and Jean Marie Zuhl ~ I love that idea Jean and Wayne. I haven't seen much of that in my area, but do see more neighborhoods with signs saying they support their local police department. It's a step in the right direction.

This starts and must stop at the top.  When the President hosts hate groups at the Whitehouse and not our Heroes in Blue...well, that does send a message doesn't it?

Hi Nina Hollander , During the near 20 years of radio dispatching and most of it police dispatching, I have met and worked many officers.  I know of several that were killed in the line of duty.  It's not just an officer, but a wife and children that are changed forever.  One of them and 4 young children. They are there to serve and protect, not to be used for target practice.

Our police officers keep people safe . . . . and contribute to society.

Good luck and success.

Good morning, Lou... I am still amazed that parents do not bring up their children to show respect to our police they way they did when I was growing up.

Larry Johnston ~ hi Larry... you make such a great point that it's not one life that was affected, but multiple lives of all the family members of a slain officer.

Good morning Nina-I guess that all I can say is that ALL LIVES MATTER - that every life occupies a unique space in the world.  I too was happy to see the reinforcement at the DNC.

Joanna Cohlan ~ and yet, when a police officer asked for a moment of silence for slain officers at the convention, she was heckled with cries of Black Lives Matter. She "accepted" that heckling way better than I would have.

This is so sad and will have an impact on future recruitings into this field. The lawmakers will have to make the punishments even stiffer to get the message across that this won't be tolerated.

Mary Yonkers ~ good morning, Mary. And then... I got up this morning to the news that another police officer was shot in Illinois overnight. Sound like he will survive. But when did it become ok to shoot police?

Debbie Reynolds ~ oh no doubt, Debbie. This was a tough enough job before. Now who wants to take this on with a target on their back? I personally believe that punishment for anyone who kills someone in uniform should be very draconian. I remember many years ago in NY State if you killed a police office it was automatic death penalty. That stopped it. I don't know if that law still stands, however.

Alan Kirkpatrick ~ good morning, Alan... prayer is one thing we can all do for our people in uniform. We also need to start making a lot of noise to our legislators to also take note of this problem.

I missed this one last week.  I can't believe how people can not respect law enforcement and the sacrifices they make every day.
