Story
On the 22nd March 2017 a husband and father PC Keith Palmer lost his life whilst protecting the public outside Parliament, Westminster. Whilst hundreds of civilians ran away from the events that occurred on Wednesday afternoon, PC Palmer ran towards it, to serve and protect us.
As a 24 year-old man, I am sick and tired of hearing people my age put down the police force in a ridiculous attempt to seem 'cool'. As a teenager I would often use one of many slanderous nicknames when referring to police officers just because it was the 'done thing -' without really taking into consideration the amazing work that these men and women do, every day.
I would love for my young audience (91% of whom are between the ages of 16--24) to come together and show the police and the general public that we don't all agree with the pathetic "police hate" comments often slurred online and in terrible rap songs.
The money raised here will help police officers who have been injured or traumatised whilst at work - and the families of police officers who, like Keith, didn't ever make it home from their shift.
So, to all police officers reading this, we appreciate you. You are truly heroes.
