On October 9, 2021, two law enforcement officers lost their lives, one was shot, all in unrelated, separate incidents. One was a Georgia officer killed on his first day on the job. A Louisiana officer, a veteran of 19 years on the force, was ambushed in his patrol car. A Maricopa County Deputy is on life support after a man shot him in the face and fled the scene in the officer’s patrol vehicle, only to be shot by a homeowner he knew during the manhunt. These incidents and others are reminders that law enforcement is a dangerous profession.
They come at a time when we are losing good police officers almost on a daily basis for everything from retirement to refusing Covid mandates. All police officers know the risks, and yet they willingly run towards danger in order to stop a bad guy, save a life or both. October 9 was a dark day for law enforcement all across the country.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

As police across the nation grapple with staffing shortages from being defunded, and hatred from members of the public, the war against those who protect our communities rages on. Not all police are bad. But the vast majority of the men and women in law enforcement do it because they want to help others.
The fact is police officers around the country are trying to do the right thing for the right reasons. This country needs to unite and come together and support the police
