Police Week: A thank you
I know that Police Week is a very unpopular week for DC residents for many reasons (out of town cops being drunk assholes among them). However, as a visitor to your city for police week I want to share a quick note of appreciation for your city and its residents even if y’all can’t stand the week.
I rode in with the Police Unity Tour and spent some time in DC after the ride. I spent a lot of time in various parts of the city doing touristy and not touristy things. Y’all have an exceptionally neat and diverse community that I haven’t seen elsewhere. I look forward to my time in DC every year.
As for the rest of the week… Police Week is supposed to be a solemn time focused on line of duty deaths and the survivors left behind. I’m sorry that such a huge part of my profession turns it into spring break with guns and police cars, it’s not supposed to be that way.
