Is there a War on Police? Watch Miami Dade Police Officer’s Raw Emotion about Why She is a Police Officer

LISTEN NOW! or WATCH FULL PROGRAM! With the increasing amount of tensions rising against our Police Officers, and now more and more murders of our officers, one has to ask, is there a war against our police?  According to a recent Rasmussen National Survey, the answer would be an unequivocal yes. According to this survey, 58% of those surveyed said yes. Additionally, one anonymous caller called into the Aurora Police Department in Colorado stating, “We are about to start striking fear, shooting down all cops that we see by their selves.” This cannot happen. Can you imagine our cities without our officers; without our deputies; those that patrol the streets to keep them safe?  

As many are wanting to speak out regarding what is taking place, one woman, Lydia Marquez,  a 20 year veteran with the Miami-Dade Police Department, did just that by posting a short video on social media in response. When her 4 year old son asked why she was going to work, she thought much about this and the next day, it was this very video that resulted.  

“…because mommy cares. I care. When you fill out any official document, for credit, a job. It asks you what you ethnicity is. It asks you what your gender is. It asks you if your Black, if your White, if your Hispanic, if your American Indian, if your Asian. It asks you all those personal questions. Yet when you call 911, the person who answers the phone doesn’t stop you to ask any of those questions. No. They ask you what your emergency is. How can we help you? And you tell them what the issue is. Because when you call 911, you need help…We don’t ask that dispatcher, Is this a Black person that’s calling? Is this a white person whose calling? That doesn’t matter because we don’t care. We don’t care at all. It’s not about color. It’s not about any of that. It’s about the fact that all lives matter.” 

This is the very heart of one of those that lay their lives down each and every day fully aware that they say good bye to their loved one, the knowledge that they may not come home that night.   

There is a narrative being promulgated across our nation that it is acceptable to rise up in rebellion against the authority, against our police officers and deputies. In response, it is being reported that citizens are responding in support of our officers by not only vocally telling them they are supportive, but also standing next to them while pumping gas so that nothing bad happens. Watch and see the full video of what was released, and so much more. John and Steve shared in this segment.
