We have been watching the sad news on TV and hearing it on the radio, and as the current unrest in Ferguson, Missouri shows, even absent (perhaps especially absent) a clear picture of exactly what went down, people are all-too-ready to jump down a cop’s throat whenever something goes tragically wrong.

What is almost never publicized, never considered, is the humanity of the cop; his life – his world – his family – his children. We routinely ask these brave public servants to go out every day and put their lives on the line; most often without a thought to the possibly tragic consequences of even the most seemingly innocent of interactions with an often unpredictable public. Yet go out they do.

The enclosed song and video, “Daddy Blue” movingly depicts this too-often unacknowledged other side of the equation.

We must honor those brave men and women who, day in day out, make the world a much safer place for me and you.
