I make a point to let every officer I run into throughout my day know how much I appreciate his service.

I will go out of my way to do so.

Not in some virtue signaling way but just a private comment to let them know how much I appreciate what they do for the community.

I have had some dirty looks for doing it but I don't care. Until you walk a mile in their shoes, you cannot have an opinion on how they have to do their jobs.

I want officers to know that the world is not against them, that we are the same people, that we want the same things and that we are with them through the tough times.
