Acting Stupid


Amazing, wasn't it, when President Obama called the Cambridge Police stupid. For those of you who wear blue and voted for him, how did it make you feel? It was kind of hard to swallow, that once again another politician was making a negative comment on our profession even after admitting that he didn't have all the facts. Dear readers, that just opens the door wide open for me to say things about this current administration. The only thing that I plan to do differently is to provide facts and sources for my comments.

We do a hard enough job anyways, but to have the President of our great nation tell the members of the Cambridge Police Department that they "acted stupidly"...ouch. Then he says comically says that he might be shot entering the White House, his residency. I'm certain that the Secret Service loved that. It is a very difficult job that we do.


Responding to a 'Burglary in Progress' call is among one of our most dangerous assignments. The Police have to gain control of the situation and ensure that there is no loss of property or life. They do this as safely and professionally as possible and often without knowing the identity of anyone on the scene. They want to ensure that any offender are arrested and that the property is not lost. They do this at the risk of their own lives often. They want to return home the way that they went to work.


Obama was seen as the person who would be the great "uniter". He has become the great "divider".
