Thinking about the issue of respect for POLICE OFFICERS

It is clear that the way to go here is to just put yourself out there with them -- and see what they have to go through and what their lives are all about -- then you may go some way to dealing with the issues that cloud everything in society today, there are always news reports that are biased with regard to the work that the POLICE DO AND this is a very thorny issue for me -- because I know just how hard they do work -- years of knowing actual POLICE OFFICERS out there have shown me clearly that there is a problem with how societys treat

them and rate them -- and in my view it is the most underrated job and career in the known universe -- just read the news reports -- POLITICAL PARTIES ARE ALWAYS at the throat of POLICE OFFICERS THERE ARE political distinctions relating to the class issues and colour,

there are all types of things clouding the judgement and the issues and ideas expressed in the press about them.........................................................................................................

THROWING A light or a spotlight on the POLICE AND having stupid political parties in POLICE STATIONS trying to do assessments and evaluations of the way those POLICE ARE WORKING -- does not do it for me -- as it seems they are the very people who are all to ready to insult those POLICE OFFICERS OUT THERE AT EVERY TURN.......................................

THEY ARE public servants and they are accountable -- to the courts like your or I -- but, do they get a fair shake in the press -- I think not, I see people from local communities taking

credit for the hardwork that they the POLICE ARE DOING -- all the time.................................and the very politicians who are claiming they are the all singing all dancing -- whatever is the man or women who is insulting these POLICE OFFICERS WITHOUT, TAKING TIME or cognisance of what the work they are doing really involved then, I do not support the POLITICAL PARTY INVOLVED AT ALL....................................................

INVOLVEMENT OF THE COMMUNITY AT STATION LEVEL does this mean that there are POLITICAL INTERESTS clouding the judgement or influencing police ---

I do not know -- I like the idea stated in the PAPERS ABOUT giving the CPFS homes off station where they cannot snozz and snoop through POLICE FILES AND POLICE OFFICERS BUSINESS AS WELL....THE SAME holds true of reservists there are always interests in the

community that maybe they may have a conflict there as well..................................................................................................................................

FROM A legal standpoint -- I am going to take 2 years of LAW through UNISA now -- I am a little appalled at what really is being levelled at PERM force members in the POLICE FORCES --- I read as does everyone else and in saying that -- there is a long way to go before there is total support for the POLICE.........................................................................

THERE NEEDS TO BE total support for the POLICE -- AND THE HARD work that they do in the community -- that does not include some political party with their own political agenda snozzing through POLICEMEN AND WOMENS PRIVATE LIVES USING THE STATION AS A

base for their own agendas -- and it happens and the POLITICAL PARTY involved knows who they are and they are terrible.............................................................................................
