Police friend

Have used the word ‘Cop ‘not as a derogatory but out of respect to mark this article.

“ It takes a special person …to risk so much for people who care so little “

For those who came in late:

The term cop is derived from the old Irish Gaelic term coup meaning protector/servant of the people. It is a myth that the term derived from copper or meaning to seize.

Have you ever told a traffic police officer a “Thank you “? ..You are driving past him at the cross road and he waves at the wind as if chopping it for you to pass through..” Thank you officer “!.He may not smile, he may not react, but deep down his heart he knows that he has achieved one good deed today. All it needs to call it a day, a good day….

Un-reacting to the heat, the showers and the chill, they stand there to elude the chaos which would have ensued if they were not standing there…

I have done it a few hundred times, honestly..I have received a smile, a wave of hand and sometimes even a frown..Doesn’t mind, you know…’cause he is the man who may see us reach our destinations in safe and time.

Police officers are difficult people with which maintain either personal or intimate relations They are very often judgmental, suspicious and controlling. Police witness things that many do not - Having conversations about their work can be difficult for all involved and it seems that police officers simply avoid this with people who aren't fellow officers. Not wanting to discuss your work with others makes a large hole in many people's conversations and makes them seem to be "dull". I guess dull people are rarely sought out for their friendship.

I’ve a bunch load of friends who are police officers. Trust me , they have never ever felt the others who are non police a moment of dullness or inanity. I bet you must also have these people in your own world. Everybody’s got their own world and their own circle of friends.

Most people are not entirely comfortable with cops. Even if they're law-abiding citizens, they'll constantly be aware that one of ‘The Watchers’ is around and be self-conscious. They won't act normally. For this reason, cops usually gravitate to the company of other cops, where they can let their hair down and relax. It's just easier for everyone that way.

Cops are human. And I’ll tell you… many cops have an uproarious sense of humor… and underneath that tough exterior… deep down, most of them really care about people..

The most solid friends I ever had were cops. Years have passed by and they have grown into solid human beings, like Spiderman's uncle once said, “ with great powers come greater responsibilities“ .. Its simply that..Busy and busy. I don't see them often today but I am lucky to have cops for friends.

Society often questions the police and their methods , and the police say, “ do you want the criminals off the streets or not ? “

Heard a quote : “ A really good detective never gets married “..  I know all..They are good 

detectives and happily married too.

Thank you all for coming to our lives , when you came, and instilling that discipline, the honour , the respect for fellow beings , the compatriot ship and the will to take on the world as you have…A highly positive energy which exults from you.

A salute to our un-named heroes, the men in uniform. A friend
