Honest men and women work together for a civil and just society, respecting our shared human rights, which must be enforced by those in law enforcement. Crimes against our human rights, crimes against our fellow citizens, and crimes against our law enforcement must be rejected in a society which believes in justice. Without those who will defend the laws for our human rights, we know the truths that we hold self-evident always under attack.

When we reject injustice anywhere, we also reject injustice against the law enforcement men and women who represent our very laws themselves.

As we reject the violence and abuse of human rights against all of our fellow citizens, we must certainly stand to reject violence and the abuse of the human rights of those in law enforcement as well.

President John F. Kennedy, Jr. created Police Week to honor the sacrifices of those in law enforcement, and we join with those around the nation and those supporting the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial (NLEOM) to remember and honor the 117 who died in 2014. We also are posting a link to the Officer Down Memorial Page, for those who lost their lives in 2014.

All patriotic Americans and all those who love our shared universal human rights must respect the valor of those who work to preserve those shared rights by enforcing the law.

Crime does not and will not pay.
