It's a murder novel book blog but this guys take on things is very accurate.

Robert Lee “Bobby” Harris has been a close friend since 1984. We worked together at several assignments on the sheriff’s department, including Firestone patrol and Homicide Bureau. We’ve been roommates, radio car partners, riding (motorcycles) partners, and drinking buddies.
Bobby spent 33 years in law enforcement, working as a police officer for the cities of Sierra Madre and Culver City before he was hired by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. His career was a colorful one, to say the very least, and he is regarded by most who have had the pleasure of knowing him as a fearless man, one who has survived many deadly encounters with uncanny coolness. When the Gulf War started, Bobby took a leave of absence from the sheriff’s department. He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserves and served as a Forward Observer in ANGLICO, and a sergeant in a scout sniper platoon.
In response to my blog about the tragic murder of Los Angeles Police Officer Juan Jose Diaz: Off-duty LAPD Officer Killed by Gunfire, Bobby shared his candid thoughts of the article and the comments it received. When I read his words, I asked his permission to post his commentary as a standalone blog in order to garner the attention it deserves.

A snip: 

"Our most outspoken critics are preventing the punishment of evil and emboldening those who would cause evil to flourish. Most of them have never been in a fight themselves, but they are like jackals. They are loud and they are winning. They use our own unrealistic restrictions to hamstring law enforcement’s efforts to maintain order. They know what they are doing. Never underestimate how much they hate you. Never underestimate how much they hate this country."


Read it all, very profoundly and sadly true.
