A video went viral on social media Thursday showing a police-officer reaching his breaking point regarding the national anti-police sentiment sweeping the media and parts of the country; saying “he gives everything” for his profession.
“I’m tired. I am so tired. I wake up every morning and kiss my family goodbye, knowing that there’s a possibility I won’t come home. I’m tired of every time I wake up in the morning, there’s someone polarizing us. All of us are not bad! Most of us are not!” said the police officer.
@kelvindingle I’m tied so tied.
“I’m so tired,” he added. “I give everything.”

ANARCHY in PORTLAND: Mayor DECLINES Help from DHS to End 6 Weeks of Non-Stop Anti-Police Protests
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler refused help from the Acting Secretary of Homeland Security this week; saying his city can handle six-weeks of non-stop, anti-police protests that have brought his town to a virtual standstill.
“Today the Acting Secretary of Homeland Security asked to speak with me about demonstration activity in Portland. He expressed his concern about ongoing violence and asked how his agency can help,” said the Mayor.
I told the Acting Secretary that my biggest immediate concern is the violence federal officers brought to our streets in recent days, and the life-threatening tactics his agents use. We do not need or want their help.

We all agree many of our nation’s systems and structures are fundamentally racist and require significant reform. There’s a housing crisis, a health care crisis, an education crisis, an employment crisis, a mental health crisis, and an addiction crisis.

It’s time for the encampment and occupation to end. There are many ways to protest and work toward needed reform. Illegally occupying private property, openly carrying weapons, threatening and intimidating people are not among them.
