Shaking it off

This isn’t a ‘traditional’ Music Monday post as I’ve suggested I will share the first Monday of each Month.  This link came across my email over the weekend and it’s too amusing to NOT share with y’all.  I suspect that nearly everyone is familiar with Taylor Swift’s “Shake it Off.”  With all the negativity and awful press that many officers receive, I thought this was an appropriate cop’s response to those bandwaggoners who maintain the ignorance that all cops are bad:

Thin Blue Line

Thank you to all the men and women who’ve lost their lives and who continue to place their their lives on-the-line each day to protect and serve.  Thank you also to the officer in the video who maintained a great sense of humor lip-syncing, “Shake It Off.”

To those who believe cops shouldn’t carry or use weapons, I ask if you think officers can realistically protect by carrying only non-deadly mace to spray at perps or protect using a tranquilizer gun to hopefully only stun a criminal, if the officer happens to gain clear access, while you’re being held at gunpoint, for example?  Or, is a cop only obligated to protect you and not also protect him or herself?
