Seeing the citizens of Massachusetts
applauding
their police officers
after the bombing suspect hunt
touched me very much.
Police are human beings.
When they do not
live up the the badge
it is worse than sad.
When they do,
it is noble work.
We all benefit.
They deal with
the angry, the impaired,
people at their worst;
Do NOT be one of those.
Show patience,
do not make their job
more difficult.
No one wishes
to be corrected
but we all need
the peace that they
enforce.
Smile
at a police officer
today!

Thank You, Dear FriendWarmly, cloudia
Oh, I did enjoy the Mencken quote! Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteThey all did a marvelous job! Our stories are written in the wind, and listening to the leaves tells it all! Peace to all....
ReplyDeleteStories happen to those that wait too.
ReplyDeletehappy saturday
ReplyDeletei agree with you and applaud your message. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, when the police do such things well they should be applauded and lauded. too often we pay attention only to the negatives.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteHooray for all of the officers. They don't make enough money for what they do.
ReplyDeleteLove the soft, fluffy cloud spearing through the sky. I think I recognize that intersection: near Princess Kahuliani Hotel, where the direction changes in the middle of the block! Will hire your scooter next time. DrumMajor
Well said, Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteVery well said, Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteLoved the H.L Mencken quote. And yes, smile at a police person - and an ambulance officer too. Surprisingly I found that they too are often abused as they do their best to help us.
ReplyDeleteI do love your heart. Caring, sharing and giving.
I agree.
ReplyDeleteAnd the quotes and pictures are perfect as ever.
Thanks! :-)

Yes, we need to give more credit to the police officer. The good always outweighs the bad. =)
