I Called a Cop by Barbara Edwards

I called a cop by Barbara Edwards

When I heard shots fired in the park behind my house, I called a cop.

When some idiot hit my car and took off, I called a cop.

When I heard a woman scream down the street, I called a cop.

When I got mugged, I called a cop.

And every time, they came.

Thank God.

A hundred years ago a man would hide his wife and children in the cellar if a bad person came to the door. He��d be lucky if he had a rifle for protection and time to use it. before cops, we were at the mercy of the strongest or meanest.

Police have been a sign of civilization. London was a crowded city before they hired men to patrol the streets and provide safety. This is true all over the world. A cop is a sign your neighbors care that the laws are obeyed.

The police are the only ones keeping the local neighborhoods and streets safe. That��s why countries without local police forces, but state, are run by fear.

A cop arrests the drug-pusher in the school grounds. A cop will escort a freezing homeless person to a nearby shelter. A cop is usually the first on scene when a fire alarm is pulled. A cop cleared the way to the hospital when my husband had a heart attack.

You��ll recognize a cop. He��s the one running towards danger.

When I look out the window and a cruiser drives slowly past, I thank God. They��re watching out for me.

When I drive past a bad accident and the police are there, I thank God. It wasn��t me because a cop was enforcing the traffic laws and I slowed down.

When I hear the news and the cops are working to solve a murder, I thank God. My family and friends are safe.

And if they��re not, I can call a cop.

Please follow, friend or like me. I love to hear from my readers.
