Our officers are on the front lines - the first to show up on the scene of a crime. They should be respected; not ridiculed. They and their families protected; not put at risk.

Law enforcement officers are never 'off duty.' They are dedicated public servants who are sworn to protect public safety at any time and place that the peace is threatened. They need all the help that they can get.

I myself have been scrutinized by militarized police, but I know officers who actually handle themselves in a certain way that makes me feel safe.

Every soldier, every cop who's faced with a decision to make, a life or death, does the best he or she can.

I know there were many good policemen who died doing their duty. Some of the cops were even friends of ours. But a cop can go both ways.

It is absolutely bedrock to the British Army's philosophy that a commanding officer is responsible for what goes on within his command.

It is the duty of every good officer to obey any orders given him by his commander in chief.

Policemen so cherish their status as keepers of the peace and protectors of the public that they have occasionally been known to beat to death those citizens or groups who question that status.

Too many security officers live day to day. They just want to be treated with dignity.
