TEARS OF A COP—by unknown


I have been where you fear to go
I have seen what you fear to see
I have done what you fear to do
All these things I've done for you.


I am the one you lean upon
The one you cast your scorn upon
The one you bring your troubles to
All these people I've been for you.


The one you ask to stand apart
The one you feel should have no heart
The one you call the man in blue
But I am human just like you.


And through the years I've come to see
That I'm not what you ask of me
So take this badge and take this gun
Will you take it? Will anyone?


And when you watch a person die
And hear a battered baby cry
Do you think that you can be
All those things you ask of me?

For all you men and women in blue who have and continue to serve with honor and grace, I thank you, love you, and proudly support you.


The badge and the thousands of good men and women it represents to me:


  • That badge ran towards certain death as the Towers collapsed on 9-11
  • That badge ran into the line of fire to save the people in the Pulse Night Club
  • That badge sheltered thousands as bullets rained down from the Mandalay Hotel in Las Vegas
  • That badge protected a BLM rally that left five officers dead in Dallas
  • That badge ran into the Sandy Hook School to stop a school shooter
  • That badge killed the Oregon District mass shouter in seconds
  • That bade has done CPR on your drowned child
  • That badge has fist fought the wife-beater who left his spouse in a coma
  • That badge ran into burning buildings to save the occupants
  • That badge has been shot for simply existing
  • That badge has waded through floodwaters to rescue the elderly trapped on the roof
  • That badge has intentionally crashed into the wrong way driver to protect innocent motorists
  • That badge has helped find the lost child so his mother would stop crying hysterically
  • That badge has helped the injured dog off the road and rushed it to the vet
  • That badge has escorted the elderly woman across the street because she couldn’t see well and was afraid to cross
  • That badge has bought food for hungry kids because they had been abandoned
  • That badge has been soaked in blood and tears
  • That badge has been covered by mourning bands to honor those who sacrificed everything in service 


People may hate you because you wear it, but take pride in it. Despite the hate and anger, you await the call for help. You will come running without hesitation. Just like the thousands of men and women across this great nation.

There's nowhere to put this sh*t down at the end of a shift; 

nowhere to tuck it away.
Every door you knock is mostly bad news for them - or for you.
Every car you stop or person you try to help - are they planning to kill you?
Head on a swivel.
Watch your six.
Go eat. Back to the wall, facing the door.
Did they f*ck with my food?
Scan for threats.
Sharp sounds.
Adrenaline dumps.
Fighting (for your life).
Fighting off the DV victim that called 911 on their husband.
Surrounded.
Shot at (whizzzz!)

Hold up alarm.
Rape in progress (DEAR GOD, LET ME CATCH YOU THERE, PLEASE!)
Child abuse ( won't speak, rocking back and forth).
Active break in.
Clear the building.
"Sir, I'm holding two domestics and a shots fired on your beat."
Tones... "I have no cars clear in ______Divison.
Start me another car.
Have them step it up.
Tones..."Clear the air".
"Car_____ isn't answering their radio".
I am sorry to inform you that your son/daughter/sister/brother/mother/father was involved in a bad accident.
Check the welfare of...
Smell hits you at the door.
Go home.
Flip switch
Be husband/wife/father/mother/care giver.
Get up and go to court (or just stay up if on latewatch)
Play hide and seek with the attorneys.
Get home.
Turn on the news and learn about how bad you are.
Get advice from the "experts" on how to fix your bad self (more training).
Go do it again.

Policeman's Prayer

Lord, bless the ones who wear the badge;

the ones who walk the beat. Protect and keep them safe while they're on the street.


As they wait and as they watch, doing good for all, guide their minds and give them strength, for each and every call. 


Ready to put their lives on the line. Give them courage each day. Let them know you're always there in each and every way.


So bless the ones who wear the badge. Protect them from harm. Always keep them safe and in your loving arms.
