Law enforcement officers have experienced a challenging period of times in recent years and things are only getting harder. Numerous officers have been singled out and attacked, and some people think that all police officers are corrupt or bad cops.
Well, one restaurant decided they would make a difference, a place over at Gallipolis, Ohio decided to show the men and women in uniform that they are valued and appreciated. The sign in the window is really causing a stir!!
The sign clearly says:
“All uniformed police officers eat free everyday.”
To unequivocally demonstrate to every man and woman in uniform that they receive wholehearted appreciation from the city for their hard work every day, every time they risk their personal safety to ensure our collective safety.
A delicious hot meal is no better way to fuel up before, during, or after a hard day and maybe even keep the streets even safer, how wonderful!
Ever since the sign has been pinned in the KFC window, things have gone crazy, it’s gone completely viral getting well over 5,000 shares and 10,000 likes on Facebook.
The store’s employees have even been joining in and commenting on the Facebook post, they absolutely do serve all the uniformed police officers, completely FREE all day, every day!
You might expect that most people will be supportive and super happy about it, especially the men and women of the police force, but, there are also plenty of people that are not happy at all!
A few others expressed strong disapproval of the actions taken by the store owners and stated that they thought all first response services, not just the police, ought to be involved, even the administer of the Ohio Going Blue, an officer of the law, too said he couldn’t agree more.
He said:
“This is a positive post, but some of you can’t see the bigger picture. As an officer, I do not go into any establishment expecting [or] wanting anything to be free or…. even a discount, whether I’m in uniform or not, and I can tell you other officers feel the same way. We don’t like ‘special treatment.’ The fact is that KFC is acknowledging law enforcement, which is why this was posted. To those who stated that other first responders should also be acknowledged. My answer? ABSOLUTELY.”
The fine officers of the law lay their well being on the line for us every day, and do their very best to keep us safe but have nothing in return, so to give them a free meal and keep them fueled up for their long day is reasonable….
Why do you think of the KFC sign in the window? Do you support it?
