Most Villagers experience with LEO's are being ****ed off at them because they drove through a stoplight/sign and got a ticket, was in an accident and got a ticket, got stopped for speeding and got a ticket, seeing them running radar and thinking they should be patrolling their neighborhood more and then my favorite - making fun of them eating doughnuts.

They're not with us when we're first on the scene of a fatality and have to pull a 6 month old deceased baby out of a car, they're not with us when we have to go to a home in the middle of the night to notify a next of kin, they're not with us when we're a sniper and sit in a car for 4 hours in the hot July sun with our scope aimed at two armed hi-jackers knowing what the outcome will be, they're not with us when we get in pursuit of a prison escapee and get our car shot up stopping the suspect. They're not with us when we walk into a place to get a quick bite and you hear a parent tell their child that they are going to be arrested if they don't eat their food.

Thank you, GracieGirl for your concern. My wife, my son and I really appreciate people like you. I wish we had 100,000 more like you in The Villages that appreciates LEO's instead of the ones that smirk at, cuss at and make fun of LEO's.

Tom and I appreciate all you do and thank you for protecting our communities. We thank you for putting your life at risk to keep us safe.
