How will you honor the men and women of law enforcement this week? Stop speeding? Stop waving with 1 finger? Or saying and meaning Thank You?

I've commented many times about various law enforcement issues in numerous posts on Rally Point. This week belongs to them, for the incredible job they perform every day, every night, in an effort to keep us all safe and secure. I am and will ever be grateful for the thankless job service they have committed themselves to performing.

Work with many everyday- neighbors are cops and we have 3 or 4 in the hood. Tell them thanks as often as I can....

Give emergency vehicles and cops space, in the car and on foot, don't drive into the blue lights 'fixation', it is a national thing to move over, hope that helps.

I lived in Brentwood, TN for many years, SCPO Private RallyPoint Member and the now retired Chief of Police Ricky Watson was a friend of mine. He said he always counseled his officers to start easy and get tough only when necessary. Further, he said if you started off tough, it was almost impossible to walk that back down to easy. Ultimately, he said he wanted the residents of Brentwood to wave at his officers with all five fingers!
Needless to say, I always had tremendous respect for that police force, they did a great job (and still do), and they were always there when needed.

I'v pretty much just been cursing them as the keep blocking traffic for ever shuttle van from the airport to their hotel as they go past my office with 50 police motorcycles escorting each bus and as they shut down major interstates during rush hour traffic. Nothing creates an US vs Them attitude like getting preferential treatment in heavy traffic.
