Message: <blockquote data-quote="wawazat" data-source="post: 3850062" data-attributes="member: 35603">Growing up with a FF dad, I can definitively say all of our first responders and military service members volunteer to take on a burden the average person is unwilling to shoulder.  As I became an adult, my dad would share a few more stories of random rides he was on and some of what was seen and had to be done at the Murrah bombing.  Id imagine law enforcement includes all of that and probably a little more because if things get violent, it is our LEOs that we expect to engage and take control of the situation while knowing that every step they take will be broken into milliseconds and analyzed over and over again in search of any transgressions.I know there are times where there isn't a single good decision available but a decision must be made regardless.  I know there are times when, after the fact, a different option becomes obvious in hindsight.  I also know that the vast majority are trying to provide the best service to the community they can while also trying their best to make it home to their loved ones at end of shift.  I am glad there are still people willing to wear the badge for the right reasons.  You all live with the burdens of memories long after your last ride and your families endure the ripples from that as well.  Thank you all for your service every time you suit up and thank your families for hopefully providing you with love, understanding, and some reprieve when you get home.</blockquote>
