To the editor:

I don't know all the right words to say it, but I know what I feel in my heart.

I am tired of all the bad-mouthing of the police.  The majority of the people who serve in blue are there to make a difference and help people.  I have known many police officers across the state, and they have been there to help people when they didn't think things could get worse.

Police officers put their lives on the line every single day so that you and I don't have to live in fear.  Each of us should be on our knees thanking them.

[to top of second column in this letter]

I support the police, not only of Lincoln, Logan County, or Illinois, but all police everywhere.  "We back the blue."

George E. Johnson
Lincoln
