Current events that will affect me as LE(Law Enforcement)
The Current even that I am choosing to write about right before I go on Spring Break is Trump's Deportation Raids. Being part of the law Enforcement community during this very turbulent and troubling time in the U.S. makes our job extremely hard. When taking the oath as an officer we swear to up hold the law and do our civic duties, but what happens when the laws begin to criminalize those who never committed a crime, but you are forced, because of your job, to actively hunt down arrest, detain and then deport these individuals? These raids have been a source of heightened stress on not only LE but also on the citizens here in the U.S. As the stories continue to unfold, you have families being torn apart, uprooted and cast to the side without a second thought. This affects us that are in LE because we know that what is happening is not only immoral but it is also just wrong. you read of stories about a innocent father going about his day and while he is dropping his daughter off at school, agents swoop in arrest and deport him. They are kicking down doors and arresting and deporting, they are going on jobs and arresting these innocent individuals, it's mind boggling to me how this is even legal. It's even more disturbing when I think about working in this capacity realizing that there will be times that I will have to do things that are against my moral code, against innocent human beings, and against the rights of the innocent given by the U.S. Constitution, all in the name of carrying out the duties of a officer of the law. It's actually quite disturbing. But hey these are just my little thoughts on the subject.
Every day, the amping up of truly complex and radical changes are so troubling. I agree. I worry that law enforcement is getting far more complicated and perhaps even poorly advised. Thank you for your "little (not little) thoughts" :)
