It will help greatful citizens send Thank You cards, Christmas presents, etc to LEOs who have been a genuine help to them. It will help police groupies and supporters to show their appreciation but doing little things like cutting their lawn, painting their houses, washing their cars and even shining their boots. It will allow citizens that really appreciate all the help they have had from the police to look out for their families while they are on duty.
Sheehan should consider making up playing cards or trading cards with pictures, names, addresses, phone numbers etc of these hard working, fearless and helpful boys and girls in blue.
I think that's a great idea.
Unfortunately, I haven't met one in my life: I've certainly received parking and traffic tickets, gotten my car ticketed and/or towed a couple times, and I've called them to report a mugging once, no perps found, and a burglary twice, no property recovered. I called the FBI once about a case of mail fraud, they said it wasn't their jurisdiction, and the postal inspector declined to prosecute, there are more important things. And of course I've been hassled by airport security I don't know how many times. It must be nice to have had an LEO be helpful to you once, but I can't say I know the feeling. The feeling I know is one of intimidation when cops who come to city council meetings when the subject of gun control comes up, or having cops videotape me and other protestors in Denver when we protested the million morons, even though the million morons have assaulted us and we haven't assaulted them. I also called the Denver ATF once to report a teen felon David Winkler, who openly confessed to going to the Tanner gun show right after Columbine, to buy a TEC-9 for cash, even though he was a teen at the time, making the handgun purchase a felony. (He is the son of a local gun grabber, and his purpose in the gun buy was to drum up support to "close" the so-called gun show "loophole," by showing how easy it was for him to criminally purchase a gun, ergo, more laws are needed.) The ATF had no interest in that prosecution either; they just wanted to know who sold the gun to a teen.
