The following letter by Queens Village Republican Club member Fred Bedell are heartfelt words that must be said. It was sent out to our local Queens weeklies and regional newspapers.
Queens rallies to support our police

Queens rallies to support our police
Supporting our police officers for protecting us day and night, is not a Republican or Democrat political issue, it’s an American issue. The U.S. Constitution was established in order to “…establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense…” The first job of government is public safety, and to protect our lives and liberties from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

NYPD: Not To Be Trusted?
By Joseph Concannon, NYPD, Captain (Ret)
The NYPD provides a shield to the citizens and residents of New York City 24/7, 365 days a year. This security blanket is composed of over 50,000 honorable men and women from all over the downstate region. The agency is responsible for the public safety of the residents of the city as well as the two to four million people who commute in and out of NY each and every day. By land, sea and air, NYPD covers NYC with courtesy, professionalism and respect.

WHAT FERGUSON MEANS FOR AMERICA’S COPS
Every cop in America knows one thing – it could have been him.
Or her.
It could have been him or her, instead of Darren Wilson, who pulled that trigger on Michael Brown.
Or some such similar young man.
Every cop in America knows that, in return for choosing a career in law enforcement, the rules of the road are now that, at any minute, it all could be over and you could become hated and condemned all across the country.
No one would have your back, even the president could denounce you.
Because you defended yourself.
