Have you hugged your local police officers lately?
It is no secret that the world has been in a state of chaos lately. The problem is the more we see on television and in the news, the more it seems lines divide us and perpetuate strong opinions and perceptions on either side. The biggest concern is unfortunately a couple of bad police officers have created an environment in this county where our good police officers are now put in danger. When bad things happen, these are the people that will help us. If hate crimes on both sides keep occurring who will be there to help us and our children? Who would be left? I saw this photo on a friends’ Facebook page she came across in OC the other day:
