why do police officers put black tape on their badges?




FallenAnge


I live in PG County,MD,and about a week ago an officer was killed in the line of duty. His funeral is scheduled for today,and today I noticed a lot of officers with black tape on their badges as well as their police cruisers. Is this done in memoriam of an fallen officer? Or is it for another reason?


Answer
Yes; the black tape on the badges are in memoriam of a fallen hero. I am sorry to hear this. I think they should make it known nationally whenever an officer has made the ultimate sacrifice. Same thing w/our service men & women. Instead of just hearing a few names at the end of Nancy Grace's shows (where she says, "An American Hero"); they all deserve national attention. They could make it a 7 PM thing on a certain channel that would cut into any regular programing at least to say a couple minutes of who the officer(s) was/were & the situations to how/where they lost their lives for serving. All flags should be half-staff, too. I'm sure they are in your area?
Prayers & love to Officer Adrian Morris & his loved ones. RIP. <3
http://www.lawofficer.com/article/news/maryland-officer-killed-crash ~fatal car crash claimed Officer Adrian Morris' life. He was 23 years very young and a part of the Police Explorer's program before becoming an officer. The county police chief said that many of the department's officers knew Officer Morris since he was 15, making it even more extremely difficult for them. Officer Morris (driver) & his partner were in pursuit of a stolen veh when the accident occurred. http://www.odmp.org/officer/21366-police-officer-adrian-morris It's soo eerie to see a law enforcement cruiser like that; especially knowing it claimed an officer's life. ={

Speaking of half-staff; they will be flown in that manner this Friday in honor of Neil Armstrong's funeral.

Ive been sick every day for 4 months. I have had flu, hayfever, tonsilitis&food poisoning. What can i do!?

I had a car accident 4 months ago, I didnt get injured, just got a big shock. The next day I got a post nasal drip and a fever. I didnt have money to go to the doctor so I used some left over anti biotics, it got a little better then I got the flu and this cough that didnt stop for a month. My doctor kept giving me anti biotics, I was on them for 7 weeks straight. Then I got hayfever, and I tried to keep that under control but it turned into tonsilitis, I got anti biotics for that and it cleared up but then I got food poisoning and I got headaches and chills, I was throwing up, I had diarrhoea, then when that cleared up, I got hayfever again which is turning into tonsilitis again. Everytime I go to the doctor I just get medicine, I dont actually get better. Is there a huge problem with my immune system. I mean it is exhausting being sick all the time, and it affects everything I do. Im coughing, sniffing and I have a fever all the time. What can I do to get better?


Answer
You have a very poor compromised immune system. Antibiotcis will exacerbate this problem.

I am sorry about your poor immune system, medications unfortunately do weaken it.

If interested, here is some other reasons why the immune system gets weak.

Toxins: Most people today have excess accumulation of toxins and waste material in their bodies causing their body to be acidic and adding stress to their immune system function. The two main reasons for this is
1) People are putting hugh amounts of toxins (mostly unknowingly) in their bodies on a regular basis and
2) their elimination channels are clogged, slow or sluggish.
3) toxins like "junk" food, medications(drugs), sugars, excess alcohol, allergens all stress your immune system, thus making it weak and unable to fight the germs when exposed to them.

Nutritional Deficiency:
When your body lacks nutrition, you will have a weak immune system.
Since our bodies can not produce nutrients needed for optimal health, quality food plays a major factor in keeping our cells healthy and our immune system strong. Food not only provides energy to your body, but all the nutrients that are essential for a healthy immune system.

Lack of drinking healthy water:
Dehydration means the cells just simply do not have enough fluid. Dehydration cause medical problems including pain, arthritis, asthma, and allergies, among other medical issues. It can affect your energy and your sleep, and the ability to get toxins/waste material out of the body.

Lack of physical activity:
Lack of regular, moderate exercise appears to slow down cleansing the body of certain toxins and waste products

Lack of sufficient rest:
lack of sleep will stress your immune system and thus increase the risk of catching a bug.
The good news is that I think you can help control or reverse your condition by doing as many as possible of the following list.


The good news is you can strengthen your immune system by doing as many of the following list as possible....

1) keep practicing good personal hygiene care, wash your hands!

2) get plenty of rest. During deep sleep, our body release potent immune-enhancing substances that strengthen your immune system function. By not allowing our body sufficient rest, the immune system will sputter, and as a result, not function at full capacity. We then are more likely to become ill with common illnesses. A healthy, deep sleep allows our body to release a significant amount of growth hormone that boost the immune system and aids in the growth and repair of the body.

3) get moderate and regular exercise
An increase in blood flow associated with moderate exercise helps to circulate antibodies along with white blood cells necessary to fight infection more quickly. As a result, this provides our bodies with an early warning system to ward off potentially damaging germs. In addition, the increase in body temperature as a result of physical activity may aid in inhibiting the growth of bacteria; thus allowing the body to fight infection more effectively.

4) Receiving a Regular Body Cleansing.
Body cleansing is essential because our bodies need to properly eliminate the toxic build up that has formed in our intestines (colon), which may lead to sickness and disease. Our body organs and tissues must be free of toxins for the immune system to function optimally thus enabling our bodies to receive the essential nutrients our bodies need.

5) Boost immune system by drinking plenty of filtered water.
Water is essential for all living things and keeps our immune system operating optimally while improving the way we feel, look and live. Without sufficient amounts of water, you may experience routine fatigue, dry skin, headaches, constipation, and a decrease normal bodily function which may lead to your body unable to fight off diseases. Without water we would literally dehydrate which could result in the shutting down of vital organs and ultimately end in death.

6) Eliminate all sugar and allergens from your diet.
Just a small amount of sugar has been proven to impair white blood cells up to 50% for very short periods of time. By discovering what our personal food allergies are, then eliminating or desensitizing them will help strengthen your immune system. By removing these triggers, our immune cells are strengthened in order to combat other invaders such as influenza rather than the allergen. The elimination of sugar from your diet can also strengthen immune system.

7) Eat nutritiously
Good foods to eat include organic fruits and vegetables, chloretta, medicinal mushrooms like maitake, shiitake, reishi, or turkey tail. Besides water, wheatgrass juice, aloe vera juice, or green tea are good drinks. My favorite is MonaVie juice.

8) Take supplements
Supplements are needed because our bodies can not produce the nutrients necessary to maintain optimum health. There are many nutrients needed in order to maintain a strong immune syste
