I have no idea what goes through the mind of someone who decides to become a police officer. However, it seems to me that most would probably do it to "protect and serve" their community. I encourage you to click on the above link, or paste the web-address into your browser to read the full story. The good that police officers do seems to always be ignored and frankly it is time that changed.
A few weeks ago, I went to "Sunrise", a favorite restaurant of mine in Zephyrhills, Florida and noticed several police officers having breakfast. I stopped one of them as they left and thanked him for work that he does- the word "startled" does not even begin to describe the look on his face! I think I made his day; I certainly hope so.
Paul says...
Romans, Chapter 13 (WEB)
1 Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. 2 Therefore he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment. 3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the same, 4 for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.

7 Give therefore to everyone what you owe: taxes to whom taxes are due; customs to whom customs; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor. 8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
Officer Sims is not alone in his kindness; there are untold men and women who risk their lives daily for our protection. Thank one of them as soon as you can; they deserve it!!!!
