| STATEMENT FROM INDY FOP PRESIDENT ON OFFICERS SHOT 4/20/2023
"Today we are reminded once again, what is put to risk each time the women and men of law enforcement put on their badge and step forward to stand the line on behalf of the communities they serve.
We are collectively grateful that both of these officers are expected to recover from non-life threatening injuries.
Yet that is only part of the story...
Think of the courage it takes to boldly stand the line that separates good from evil at a time when:
* On average an Officer is shot in the line of duty every 25 hours in our nation
* On average an Officers dies in the line of duty every 52 hours
* Approximately 165 Officers are assaulted daily
* On average an Officer is exposed to a life altering tragic Critical Incident every other month
Often, our politicians in charge are quick to blame the instruments used and leverage political agendas such as talking about "Gun" violence.
Yet our residents and officers are left stuck in the middle of "human" violence often committed by repeat offenders with no value for the sanctity of life.
These are matters of the human heart and we must get back to basics in addressing it.
Therefore, we call on our community to pray for police and find ways to love your neighbor.
Solutions will come from neighbors loving neighbors, not from politicians trying to score political points."
