Peace Officer

I’m a Police Officer trying to keep the peace as Molotov cocktails and other projectiles are thrown near me.  My dream was to protect all the citizens no matter what their race, religion or creed and now I’m being attacked because I wear blue.  Trying with every  bit of my being to stay calm while thousand of rioters taunt me and my fellow officers into a confrontation that we know nobody will win.   As a fellow human being I was just as appalled by the despicable acts against George Floyd probably even more because the perpetrator “wore our colors” but the rioters paint us with a broad hateful brush.  When will this hate and violence stop for the one’s who generally are trying to bring the peace to everyone?
