Hi, I'm Matt Slick from Karm .org. I wanted to give a shout out to the cops, to you policemen, you policewomen.

00:13

I wanted to say thank you for doing your job. The reason I'm saying this is because I appreciate you.

00:19

When I see policemen, I see them at a restaurant, eating, I don't want to bug them, but a lot of times

00:25

I'll just tell them thank you for doing their job. I appreciate the police. Even when I get stopped, if I get a ticket or I don't get a ticket,

00:33

I appreciate what they're doing and I tell them thank you for doing their job. I believe you cops risk your life on a regular basis and I believe that you don't get the due respect and appreciation due, the difficult calling that is your job.

00:47

You put on that uniform and you're supposed to act perfectly and when you don't, it gets just broadcast all across the media as though one bad incident or a bad cop represents the whole.

00:57

Well, it doesn't and a lot of people like myself know that it doesn't. We just want to let you know that we appreciate you.

See, when I get stopped by a cop, which isn't very often, but when I do, I turn my car off,

01:10

I put my hands where they can be seen, my keys are on the dash, I even turn the overhead light on inside if it's night so they can see me.

01:19

It's not because I'm afraid, it's because I have respect for them. They don't know if I'm a good guy, they don't know if I'm a bad guy, they don't know if I'm out just to get something for the wife or if I'm on drugs or anything.

01:30

They walk up to the door to a stranger in a difficult situation and they do this on a regular basis and as far as I'm concerned, they're risking their lives.

01:39

I appreciate you for what you do. I know many of us do. I want to say thank you, keep up the good work and just know that we're praying for you and that we value your great effort out there.
