A great perspective from my friend Greg Giltner, former OKCPD Chaplain and Oklahoma FOP State Chaplain. 💙👮🏻‍♂️🇺🇸

Imagine being in a profession where everyone has an opinion on how to do your job, but no one has the guts or commitment to do it.

Imagine working a job where you
have to video record everything you do and every action and choice is scrutinized by others.

Imagine making life or death decisions in a split second that it take a lawyers, a judge and jury weeks to decide if it was lawful.

Imagine wanting to help others and make your
community safer only to be told by the public and celebrities that you have hate in your heart and how you must hate your fellow man for the color of his skin.

Imagine a president and elected leaders who have never done this job telling you that you need more training and you
should aim for the knee.

Imagine stopping a car on an empty road at 3am and walking up to the window to tell someone to slow down not knowing if this is the last thing you will ever do.

Imagine your entire profession being judged by the actions of a few.

Imagine getting up
each shift to go to work with a spouse and kids begging you not to go because society hates you.

Imagine getting out to visit with some kids who are so frightened of you that they ask if you are going to kill them because that is all the news reports.
Now imagine a community without law enforcement......

If anyone doesn’t want to imagine they can always ride along.........
