Fr. Jeffrey Kirby of Indian Land, South Carolina, revealed the special strengths and sacrifices of law enforcement as the nation observes Police Appreciation Week.
Kirby, who is host of the daily devotional "Morning Offering with Father Kirby," said via email that law enforcement members are "brave souls who put their lives on the line to protect and serve the common good of society." "Our police officers are the best of us. They are society’s heroes as they champion what is right and good among us." "It is an exaggeration to claim systemic racism in the [nationwide] police force." "Any assault on a police officer is an assault on the common good." Deirdre Reilly is a senior editor in lifestyle with Fox News Digital.
He added, "Their heroism and sense of duty merit our respect and esteem."
