The Thin Blue Line Is Getting Thinner

Image
The Thin Blue Line is a symbol for Americas Law Enforcement Agencies around the County. It represents the few people that can go through a strenuous academy, go out and serve a community that hates you for the badge you wear and not the person they have become. They serve the community with pride and integrity. At the end of the day they lay their lives on the line serving the community with great pride hoping to make a change in someone’s life and still come home safely to their family.

Mainly due to poor connection and having funds to pay for internet when it first came out in the late 60’s. I remember when I first used AOL’s Instant Messenger, I was probably a freshman maybe a sophomore in high school. I didn’t have internet at the time due to my parents not being able to pay for it but a friend of mine had it. So, we would get on the computer wait for the dial up to connect, that 56k modem was fast for its time hahaha. We would get on the chat boards and just start talking about random stuff. It was fun but most of the time we could not get a connection. Then in 2003, Myspace came around.   A platform where you could customize your very own page. You could a...
