Law enforcement professionals are the ethical guardians of democracy who protect and serve communities throughout the nation.
The challenge to our law enforcement professionals is daunting as we continually witness violence, apathy, brokenness, cynicism, and callousness throughout society.
There is also a new term called the Ferguson effect, referring to police being passive under heightened security or concerns about being the next viral video.
It does not matter if the cobblers and masons fail to do their jobs well, but if the guardians fail, the democracy will crumble.
