Sterling: 1:01
I remember when I was a child, I would stand at the street corner with my foster mother waiting for the public bus. I watched as a police car sped by with lights and sirens, and I said, “Look at the fuzz.” I didn't realize that this was a derogatory term for police. I'll never forget my foster mother's reply—her profound words—as she said, “While we run away from the danger, they are running toward it.” I want to honor that legacy. Join me in advocating for a stronger, supportive community for our law enforcement officers. Whether it's through community engagement, education, or simply expressing gratitude, we can all play a part in promoting a safer environment. Together, let's create a culture of respect and appreciation for those who protect us every day.
