Control the fire of hatred against law enforcement

I would like to thank the Cheney Free Press for having the good heart to print the article in the Opinion section of the paper titled “This war on police officers needs to stop.” This was in the May 14, 2015 edition.

Police officers in our communities and across our nation put their lives on the line to preserve order in our society that we might have a sense of peace and safety where we live.

For those who want to criticize, try walking in their shoes. Would you be willing to stand against vandals, thieves, the violent, the murderers, the contemptuous that have no regard for others in society and on and on it could go.

I agree with the article. “We really need to control this fire of hatred that has fanned out about law enforcement because 99 percent are good police officers.”

We need to speak up America and support and uphold and respect our police force. Would you be willing to take their place and walk in their shoes? If not, then have a sense of respect and appreciation.

Thank you Cheney Free Press for your forthright article.
