Blue Lives Matter...

Why are these officers dead? Why are we not seeing stories by the media about these offices lives lost? Why is there not a push to hold the people who killed these officers more than accountable but responsible for their actions? Why are we not hearing their Chiefs and Sheriffs speaking up and saying their is a war on my people and I will not allow that? Why are we not seeing them going to their Governor and the president asking for more funds and a declaration of crisis to

In 2019, there were 48 law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. Since the George Floyd incident from May 2020 there have been 130. That is fact. That is reality.

You can not solve crime with social policy change, you solve crime first by having quality and quantity of good officers, by leading by example and organization change. You suppress crime by being a part of your department and not just the figure head. You suppress crime by holding criminals even it is in your own ranks accountable. . Crime is a result of a choice. There are avenues available that are not illegal to improve socio economic conditions- It's called hard work, grit and grace. These deaths are a result of the National Crisis in law enforcement and first responders first and foremost. This crisis started before the pandemic and failing to lead your department and stand up to and for your officers gave the public who is infringing on your officers rights the chance to in effect create a coup and there needs to be regime change. When you become ineffective as a Chief of police, you make your department vulnerable to criminals. You need to know every officer by name, their story and that becomes why you lead. I know the name of departments full of officers I have never met because their lives matters. I know who they are not just what they do. I ask them about their girlfriends and their hobbies.

Their lives are not a beginning and a end date. They are people with families, and friends. Their lives touched others who will always remember something they said or did. They are the reason someone is still alive and why a victim a can sleep at night and feels safe. They are the reason other victims were not created, and that the community can sleep at night.

While several departments in Chatham County, Ga and Brookhaven created a victim, and for two years have refused to look into their own officers actions they have left a rapist, a sexual batterer, and police officer who punched a judicial officer with a badge who used his friends on the force to destroy my life and their Chiefs and Mayors have no concerns about what have done..They dishonor these men and women and their Chiefs dishonor themselves. Those are not officers that anyone wants working for any department. Their chiefs protecting them and themselves is a dishonor a 130 times over just since June 2020. Each of these officers did not have this protection, and tarnishing their memories is something no one ever forgets. To the families Blue, Red, Gold , green and civilian who grapple with these officers death for a lifetime, I will not let those that tarnish their badges so with a badge. I will not let your families be at risk because they let criminals run free. If a juvenile probation officer can have her life destroyed by a few departments of them and no one care, then it could be your daughters, wives, sister or friend - that is not acceptable. I stand for these heroes, and apologize for what the Pooler PD, Savannah PD, Brookhaven PD does to dishonor and endanger people. I apologize that their Chiefs do not have the honor for their profession to stop firing people for social media posts and leave the department full of the officers who dishonor the badge. I apologize for them not because they deserve to be forgiven but because they dishonor these officers and their families and the sacrifice.
