  1. We need to evaluate our police officers yearly so we can give the officers in distress time to regroup! We have to take care of our officers so they can take care of us!

  2. A third of them it’s much higher much much higher. In the corporate world employers assess employees quarterly, why aren’t police assed 2-3 times a year independently

  3. Dear channel admin and subscribers, Happy New Year to all of you. I wish you success in your work. I wish good luck to those who started blogging like me!

  4. Go, tell it on the mountain
    Over the hills and everywhere
    Go, tell it on the mountain
    That Jesus Christ is born
    Go, tell it on the mountain
    Over the hills and everywhere
    Go, tell it on the mountain
    That Jesus Christ is born
    While shepherds kept their watching
    O’er silent flocks by night
    Behold throughout the heavens
    There shone a holy light
    Oh, go, tell it on the mountain
    Over the hills and everywhere
    Go, tell it on the mountain
    That Jesus Christ is born
    The shepherds feared and trembled
    When there above the Earth
    Rang out the angel chorus
    That hailed our Savior’s birth
    We gotta go, tell it on the mountain
    Over the hills and everywhere
    Go, tell it on the mountain
    That Jesus Christ is born
    Ooh-ooh
    Down in a lowly manger
    The humble Christ was born
    And God sent us salvation
    That blessed Christmas morn
    So go, tell it on the mountain
    Over the hills and everywhere
    Go, tell it on the mountain
    That Jesus Christ is born
    Jesus Christ is born
    Oh, Jesus Christ is born

    1. Philippians 1:12-14 King James Version (KJV) 12 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; 13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;

  5. How do you reform something that is reluctant to change and truly doesn’t want to change? 👈🏿 That is the police and police unions
