[QUOTE="India Actual, post: 6714, member: 80"] I take your Blue line remark as slightly offensive. Unless you wear a badge or walk a mile in my shoes you can never understand why the "Blue Line" exists. Not only is it a source of internal pride amongst law enforcement to create comradery, but the blue line exists because no one else cares when how we live or die. In an ideal world we would have a perfectly orderly society that didn't require law enforcement slapping criminal codes on people. We all know it's not. I'm not here to make excuses but to help others try and understand. The blue line isn't a secret society codex we live by where we let each other off the hook for the most evil of deeds perpetuated by mankind. Sure we give each other professional courtesy when it comes to bullshit fines and other things like that, but I can personally attest that LEOs have some of the highest rates of DUI by profession in the country. We drink a lot but we also hold each other very accountable for anything that can harm innocent people. My community is grieving right now that we have to suffer from what that ex-officer did. I will have to suffer the consequences of his actions for many years. I will lose good people who stand behind that Blue Line because of the criminal actions of one man who did not deserve to wear a badge. Anything so heinous as to what happened to Mr. Floyd needs to be punished and it will within the rule of law. People need to understand that we're husbands, fathers, mothers, wives, brothers, and sisters and we bleed and cry. Both will be happening for a long time after you have all forgotten George Floyd's name. [/QUOTE]
