VIDEO TRIBUTE: ‘Policeman’ by Paul Harvey

Paul Harvey (1918-2009) was a radio broadcaster for the ABC Radio Networks. He gave the “Policeman” speech on talk radio nearly 40 years ago and it is known as one of his best speeches.

Mr. Harvey’s father inspired this speech. He was a police officer who was shot and killed while doing what police officers do every day.

The text to the speech is included in the video.

Dedicated to all those GOOD law enforcement professionals, past and present: the overwhelming majority of Americans are not swayed by the “broad brush” that tries to smear ALL due to the bad and unacceptable behavior of the few.
