Thanksgiving has come and gone, but we should be thankful every day for family, friends and our local police officers who protect and serve us.
Sunday’s killing of four officers in Parkland was atrocious — it’s tough to even put into words the feelings that arise.
I have the utmost respect for those who are in this profession, as it’s not an easy job to tackle. Officers never know what’s on their docket each day, who they’ll run into and what decisions they’ll have to make to try and keep us, and themselves, safe.
Officers aren’t just the folks with the speed gun and the ticket book, they’re just like us, trying their hardest to make the best of each moment.
Take care out there.
