Murdered police officers in Charlotte, N.C.


Link


A city mourns two fallen police officers--murdered a few days ago in Charlotte, N.C.

I have a friend and neighbor who is a sheriff's deputy in York County, S.C.--where I live.

I asked him last night why he continues to work in law enforcement, given the dangers of his occupation.

"Because that's what we do, Larry," he responded, while puffing on a cigarette. "That's the only thing I know how to do. What other job would there be for me?"

Whatever our police officers are being paid, it's not enough.
