Are all law enforcers coolly?

Salute Too?

Have you ever salute an officer? When was it last time you thanked a police officer, respectfully addressed an officer? Rarely, have I seen officers praised for their diligence. Sgt. (Sargent) Jones of Indiana State Capital Police laid on the floor consoling a child, who evidently was experiencing a bad day. Instead of using fear tactics or intimidation she went to him and showed him that she was genuinely interested in how he was feeling by laying beside him. It was also stated in the following video below that once she informed him that everything was going to be ok the child smiled.

What led Sgt. Jones to take those actions? A question that should circulate throughout our minds.

Her Kindness was Adopted

Before I continue, I have to say that I am ignorant of any of her primary police training but her secondary training proved itself to be evident. Which was volunteering with children in multiple schools she adopted a discipline of wanting to “encourage them and everything they have to offer,” a statement presented by Sgt. Jones.

It was stated in the video that Sgt. Jones has prior experiences volunteering with children in a lot of schools and along with the information given to her by the child’s mother she painted a picture for Sgt. Jones.

There was an element that I hint on earlier and this following quotation may have been more powerful than any of the previous experiences and or the information…It was her ideology. She stated “I just think the next generation is going to be the next world changer, we have to speak positive and in life and love into these children; things will change, their going to change it.” Indeed Sgt. Jones, indeed. Beliefs such as this will or may cause any individual to be empathetic and patient in almost any situation. Let this video be a testimony.

Running is apart of me, I won't be able to bethink the youngest age I ran, but I can tell you my most enjoyable experience thus far. I was recruited into the sport of track & field by an old track & field coach my sophomore of high school. I wasn't the fastest nor were I slowest—I wanted to be deemed the fastest. Sadly, many discontinued coming to practice, leaving an handful of runners capable of out running me. Lightly disheartened, I still pursued to be the most nimble. It was uncertain to me at the time as to why I was made co-captain my sophomore year. It may have been of my determination or perhaps it was an form of encouragement from my coach....sophomore year I earned two medals—one in the 4X100 repay in which the team placed sixth in the freshman championship—another medal was won but I cannot remember in which event. Once I was home after practice, I used a twenty pound weight to prefect my running form, baton hand off and receiving the baton. Over time I became conscious of my diet and that was the inception of me building up to become a vegetarian. Whenever I ate fast food at the Chinese eatery, I normally ordered General Tso's Bean Curd (tofu). That was junior year—senior year it all changed. I incorporated more fruits, and it was made possible because of New York City's Green cart vendors. Granny smith apples, mangoes and rarely lychees, were what I purchased. Senior year I made the Chancellor's honor roll. At that time I did not and to this day I am trying to fully comprehend the award—I am grateful—even in my ignorance of its meaning. It was this year that I ran my high school personal best in fifty five meters dash, one hundred meters, two hundred meters and three hundred meters. But In the end, a regret I have now was remaining closed mouthed—not asking questions and not asking for assistance. The lesson to have been had is to have a childlike curiosity and to never cease questioning. An ideology in which I practice today.
