firefight with the suspect. We
were all so impressed with the
commitment of our communi-
ties to the cause of public safe-
ty and their willingness to sup-
port us in our loss. Indeed, we
saw through their eyes that this
was their loss, too.
And, I’ve got to say, this is
the most inspiring aspect of all
that has gone on in the days
since Chief Ralph Painter died
at the hands of a merciless
gunman. To know that we have
your support is the key to all we
do. We cannot conserve the
peace in our county; we cannot
stand in the gap between law-
lessness and our freedoms,
without your support and co-
commitment to the values we
live by and institute in our pro-
fession.
Ultimately, this concerns our
freedoms and responsibilities
as citizens of the greatest
country in the world: the land of
the free and home of the brave.
Law enforcement officers and
deputies depend on your sup-
port (not just your tax money)
to keep the peace and uphold
the laws that preserve our lib-
erties. We stand on that thin
blue line, but it isn’t about us,
nor is it about the line.
It is about all of us in society
standing together for the com-
mon cause of good. You com-
mission some of your own to
stand on that line in front of
you, but we are all standing to-
gether.
It is times like this that show
us just how much we lean on
that common cause to do what
public safety professionals do
day in and day out. And it is the
revelation of that support that
encourages us – more than
perhaps you will ever know –
and inspires us to continue to
stand on that line.
