All In a Days Work

-I wish I could take back some of the things that being an officer in this town brings. -I never imagined this world was so cruel. I pinned on my badge and was a different fool. -It doesnt protect you but makes you aware of how hard you work, how little they care. -Youre doing your best to protect everyone you become a target because of your gun. -I cant count the times Ive heard someone say "Cops never grow up, they just like to play." -I only wish these "games" werent for real. They are often deadly and the wrong move kills. -I get out everyday and have loads of fun. Wouldnt you, looking down the wrong end of a gun? -Or fighting a kid gone wild on PCP How many of you would trade places with me? -Or stand up beside me when I arrest your kid who spits on me and claws me for something he did? -Or stand up in front of a partying crowd and tell them that theyre being entirely too loud? -Or write a ticket to your pastors mother and that OUI was your best friends brother? -How would you handle a kid smoking dope who says he does it because he just cant cope? -Could you be the one to tell a mother her son just died in the hands of another? -Or arrive on the scene of a two car wreck where an infant just died from a broken neck? -Or walk in a house that you live beside and discover a head blown off in suicide? -Not me, you say, then tell me just who will do a job you dont care to do. -It isnt all bad, thank God its true a few of them still say, "Officer, thankyou." -In my heart I know Id rather be doing this by far. Its not what you do, its who you are.
