Erie Police, Dedicated to Duty

I meant to write a long post, but before I even knew it it ended up being a quarter to one in the morning. Never a good time for long winded bullshit.

So just a thing of note that came to my attention. The nearby city of Erie, Pennsylvania has fallen on some hard times financially. Lacking the funding, they could not fund the police department enough to put a sufficient number of officers on all shifts.

So many of the good people in Blue of Erie are working overtime.

For free.

Nada. Zip, Zilch, Zero. They will answer the calls, they will put their lives on the line, and they will do it without receiving compensation because if they do not, no one else will.

Ladies and Gentlemen, such simple nobility is what being human is truly about.

A sincere thanks to the Police Officers of Erie and all such honorable officers of the law.

Rock on, kids.

That's better than one of the nearby towns here--they have no police at all, and their force isn't as gregarious as Erie's.
