The next time anyone is tempted to make a disparaging remark about police officers and taking donuts breaks, please remember the families (specially the little children) of these dead heroes. These men and women died protecting us......not eating donuts.
I can never understand why it's such good sport to minimize the dignity of police officers by painting them as donut hounds.

That would be me, and I am a huge supporter of the police officers who protect us. My grandfather who raised me was a police officer in Columbus, Ohio for 37 years. I have never had any kind of dealings with an officer of the law that was not positive, even when I got a ticket years ago.
My attempt at a little levity and my posts about the law enforcement people here in The Villages eating donuts in the parking lot at Publix only meant to reinforce my view that this place is safer than most places. I would like to add that I have never, ever, personally seen them munching donuts.
Maybe one bagel.
