Columbine - the useless cops milled around outside playing with themselves, waiting for the shooting to stop, while the killers walked around killing more victims. The cops were more concerned about their own safety. We have to turn “to protect and serve” into more than an empty promise.

“Empty Promise” is of more honor than the fraudulent phrase.
I seem to remember when I was young there were these people we paid to be armed, serve the public good, and yes, risk their lives in harm’s way to protect the citizens of the community. Not sure what happened to them, but there’s some union goons wearing their uniforms these days.
And before others decide to flame away, the exceptions merely prove the rule, not break it. I know there are plenty of fantastic officers out there, who rightly get angry at such statements as mine. And that’s well and good; we should all be angry at the people who have so disrespected the uniform and the code of conduct officers used to be held to.
