He looked older than me, especially since I don't have gray hair or a gray mustache and he did. When he returned, I told him I watch Live PD on A&E and I want to thank him for his service and then shook his hand. He handed me license and said Merry Christmas. If you treat the police with respect, generally things will turn out better.
These are cops those who lost their lives while on duty in 2018. Wouldn't it be nice if young people would walk through their neighborhoods protesting the killing of police officers. It's like the old saying "You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar".
