Unseen Protection

It’s estimated that there are around 1,000,000 law enforcement officers in the United States. They have one of the most dangerous careers you can have. Even a simple traffic stop for speeding could be their last.

Law enforcement is a calling. It has to be. Any of us would risk everything to save our families. Police do it for strangers. They keep the peace when insane, chaotic conditions exist all around them. They protect the people who are protesting them as well.

In 2014, Michael Brown was shot and killed in Ferguson, Missouri by a police officer. The officer, Darren Wilson, claimed that Brown assaulted him and made a play for his gun. After an intense investigation, the grand jury found no evidence to indict the officer. Same for the DOJ. Yet, Wilson had to move his young family away from Ferguson.

Say a prayer for our brave officers. They have a sometimes thankless job, but I am thankful for them every day…
