The Thin Blue Line
Norm Beznoska Jr., Letter to Editor: There is a "Thin Blue Line" that separates "Good from Evil; Order from Anarchy; Civilization from Barbarians." That 'Thin Blue Line" is made up of our Police and Sheriff Departments, Border Patrol, Firemen; and EMS personnel. These Men and Women stand watch over us and protect us 24x7, 365 days a year, from those who know NO Law; NO Order; NO Civility.
We saw what happened in Missouri when rioters and looters used the pretext of the killing of a 6'4" 290 lb unarmed Black man in a confrontation with a white policeman, to run amok, causing tens of millions of dollars damage. For what purpose? To "mourn" the loss of the young man? Or, to rob and loot businesses, and throw gasoline bombs at the Police in a senseless, racial rage? At the same time in Utah, a young unarmed, white man was killed by a Black Police Officer. But, unlike Missouri, there was no rioting; no looting; no confrontations with the Police. Perhaps because no racial agitators like Al Sharpton and Attorney General Holder showed up?
Even the President of the United States got involved (again); sending three high ranking Government officials to the funeral of the young black man. The same president who, only the week before, couldn't send one, just ONE government Official to the funeral of Major General Harold Greene, the US Army's highest ranking Officer to be killed in Afghanistan. Why not?
I'm tired of the print and TV news media, Attorney General Holder and President Obama using our Police as "political pinatas and whipping boys". In 2012, there were 12 Million criminal incidents in the country, but only 400 fatal shootings by the Police.400! That is .000035 of one percent. However, a Police Officer is Killed in the line of duty every 58 hours.
I cannot speak for the citizens of my city, but I can speak for my family, my friends, and my neighbors who feel like I do about "The Thin Blue Line".
We Thank You; We Respect You; and We Have Your Back.
