Twenty-five years in law enforcement showed me some unfortunate things…up close and personal…
So very naive….expecting tv…so subtle were some criminals and so very blatant the others…
Some radio silence, some repeated calls and those code 1 adrenaline transmissions…
In-house power, greed and pride while climbing the “ranks” to endless success…
Seeing both poverty and entitlement, the unschooled and highly educated…
Favoritism and not so favorites, so called worthless and highly esteemed…
Accomplishments through hard work and the back door short cuts…
Plenty of racism and stereotyping, lots of fake smiles and backstabbing…
A hard day’s work with little rewards, endless overtime and lots of regrets…
The most vulnerable overlapping and those least likely to care…
Prostitutes and drug addicts, pimps and drug dealers...
Fire arms and needles, condoms and crack pipes…
Lots of personal opinions but no real solutions or direction…
Good leaders overlooked and fools with authority…
The elderly, the homeless and countless teenage mommies…
No real head of households and no prayer in the public square…
But in my years of walking with Jesus, He has with clarity shown me sin, up close and personal…
