For those who wear a badge

What is a police officer?

A police officer is someone who is sworn to protect and serve the citizens of their city, to answer the calls of help, and remove citizens who don’t follow the law. But here lately this statement has had a different meaning, as the officers who protect us, can no longer protect themselves. And we are losing too many offers here lately.

Too many officers are being shot or killed for doing their job, for protecting their community from harm's way. It seems like I’m hearing about officers who are getting shot for just being on the job. Is this what society has come to? Where the protect and serve can no longer protect and serve?   Where the gangs run the city, and ruin lives?

Why fear the gangs. Aren’t we stronger than that; isn’t our motto “United We Stand, Divided We Fall”? 

Let’s hide in our homes, lock the doors, and pretend that everything will be Ok. It’s like the saying; “sweep the dirt under the rug, and the dirt is gone”

We can’t stop the shootings or violence in the streets, if we all hide in our homes and do nothing about it

“ We are only strong as we are united, and week as week are divided.

So let’s stand strong together and fight back, We all need to help out our sworn law officials, as they are stretched to thin too be everywhere, we need to be their eyes and ears, stand next to them, and be their bodyguard, as they fight every day, and put their lives on the line to keep us safe.

We can no longer hide and hope everything goes away. With today’s culture, and economy people are angry and are taking their frustrations out on innocent people. Unfortunately these people are the people who are trying their best to keep us safe.

There is no easy solution to this problem. As time goes on, violence will increase if the economy continues, and more and more people are laid off, or unemployed, and companies are closing their doors.

Here’s a thought, why not let the gangs patrol the streets. That way they will shoot each other? Problem solved.

OR IS IT??

This is in memory of Sgt. Scott Lunger.

When you woke up that morning, the day came with out a warning.

You tried to pull over a stolen bike, but the rider decided to take your life.

 Now your community and friends gather around to say one last goodbye as they watch your casket drive by. They line streets with flags and tears, and recall their memories of you throughout the years.

 

Now family and close friends are waiting around as your casket is lowered into the ground. Why did he shoot him they say, and they cry and walk away.

 

You were too young to go, Why you where taken we don’t know. We would like to think it was your time to go.

 

Your family will be ok. In time their pain will go away. They will have friends they never knew they had, to help everyone through and this makes them glad. To know there are people who understand and willing to lend a helping hand, and to know that they are not alone while going thorough the grieving zone.

 

You where taken too soon form this place. Guess heaven needed to see your smiling face. We will miss you down here every day, but as time goes by we all will be ok.  

 

This is in memory of Sergeant Scott Lunger. May you rest in peace.

A little poem to our dear mayor

Mr. Mayor you say crime is down. You must think we are a bunch of clowns Why is there is crime tape all around?

How come there are shootouts in the streets? Is this a place where people grieve?

They see a yellow tarp on the ground, covering someone that was shot down.

 Families are being torn apart. Do you REALLY think this is smart?

 When are these shootings going to stop, and we hear silence instead of gun pops?

While you’re in your office safe and sound, you can’t hear the cries of this town. And see the dead bodies on the ground? You need to take a look around.

You ask the people how they feel, and then throw a temper tantrum when OUR plan is revealed; like a child who is throwing a fit on the ground.

We did not get enough signatures this time, but we are not ready to give up or cross the line. We need you out ASAP, so we can finally get some sleep.

We need to take our great town back, and not listen to any useless flack. Heck we’ll help you pack.

Letter to the Mayor

Mr. Mayor,

 

First off I would like to know “ ARE YOU NUTS??” How can you say violent crime is down when there are people shooting all around?

If you think crime is down, then you must be a clown, because violent crime in our fair city Dear Sir is “NOT DOWN”!!!

 

Ask any person whose house has been invaded, or a parent who has lost a child because of shooting or street racing. Ask our Police Officers as they run from one shooting to another in one evening to gangs, or a firefighter that has to perform CPR on a child that was playing in front of his house that was caught in the crossfire of a gang shooting, as the parents watch their child die Or ask any citizen who has had a knife or gun placed near them for something as simple as having a cell phone. These people will not say crime is down, violent or non-violent; crime in Antioch is here to stay as long as you are in office.

NO we did not win the signatures that we set out to get. But we will win this battle, you just watch us. You state that you have a group of followers - I don’t think so. If you would take a poll to see how you are fairing, you would be shocked to see how many people you actually have following you, and how many want you out of office.

 

We will win this fight, get you out of office and take back Antioch once and for all.!!!!!!!

 

You will be running with your tail between your legs, and not looking back.

We have had enough, and will not stand for anymore.

We all love this city and with you in office hiding under your desk and not leading up to your lies that we all believed when you first took office, we have no choice but to throw you out like the trash you are. We will elect someone who will clean up the mess that you made, and turn this city into the gem that it once was before you took office.

 

 

Yes MR. Mayor your time in office is short, and you should find a city that does not know you and move there. “Because the citizens of this great city are taking over, and we will not stop until you are gone”

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 Concerned Antioch Citizens

S.F. Niners New Home

I hear that Niner’s have a new home these days,

Where they will play most Sundays.

They have new food, the price is high

and I’m told to the sky. 

Bring your family and your spouse,

and take a second mortgage on your house. 

These prices are way too high, 

for any single passerby

Oh my dear, eleven dollars for a beer.

This does not include getting in 

to watch your team play and win, 

I would rather watch the game all day,

than have to pay and pay 

(By the way, can get a 6 pack at Safeway,

far less than you will pay)

You won’t catch me at their new home;

 wow they made it to the end zone.

The Niner’s won their game, 

watching here is just the same. 

Expect no standing in lines, no crowds, no traffic going home. 

Sure glad they made it to the end zone.

Walk out of the game with your head held high, 

all the way to the sky.

Because when you reach your home,

you’re going to need a loan. 

For all the cookies and the snacks,

you need to pay yourself back.

I hope your banker's at the game,

trust me he will need the same.

So welcome to football season,

where the weather is always freezing.

Lying under a tree

Your lying under a tree, and this is what your eyes can see, sky blue, and grass green, prettiest picture you have ever seen.

White puffy clouds floating by and you begin to wonder, why can life can be keen, where sky is blue and grass is green.

You hear birds chirping all around, and a gentle breeze blowing trees all around.

You see a rabbit hopping by and look at it and say hi. You watch it for a while, and you realize it made you smile.

You get hungry so you see a picnic basket, you open it up and you see, a better place for you and me. You climb in this box, and what you see blows off your sox.

You’re at the beach you see, and your hoping this is not a dream.

The sand is warm the water is blue, this the perfect place for you and me.

You lie on the beach and feel the sun, and say to yourself, “Im having too much fun”

You hear some children talking away, and you smile and say to yourself that made my day. Lying on the beach you fall asleep, while the waves start to creep, they wash away all your worries and pain, then you feel the mist of a gentle rain. You run for cover from the rain, and the children who were playing do the same. You inside nice and dry, as you watch the rain as it s passing by. You fall asleep in your place so dry, you cant help but wonder why, you don’t want this day to end, and all the new people you call friends. You stop and wonder could this be a dream? This is far from being seen. Am I home snug in my bed? Or lying by a fireplace glowing instead. This is one thing no one will ever know, and a place you can always go. Just open a lock, climb in the box hold and  on tight, you’re in for a special delight.

My question for you is as you see, is this a dream or reality?

The answer to this is yet to be seen, the dream is up to you, where you go and what you do.
