The truth behind this photo of two police officers will stun you!

The image of police has drastically changed from someone who protects to someone who must be feared. Suffering from a lot of negative comments about law enforcement officers (thanks to social media), Officer Brittany Beard Hilton also used the same medium to express herself and make everyone realize what an officer’s life looked like.

As a response to all the hate, Brittany posted a photo to her Facebook page without even expecting it to be viral. Right now, it has been shared for over 100,000 times.

Curious about what’s in the photo she posted?

Well, take a look. Here, Brittany is in a photo with her fellow officer in uniform. Her post goes, “All you may see in this photo is two smiling police officers. But there is more.”

It may just look like a simple photo of two smiling officers. But it turns out that the officer smiling next to Brittany is her husband Steven. Yes, he is also a police officer working in Texas.

Brittany said that the photo was taken on Thanksgiving Day, which is obviously a holiday. While most families would be at home and spending quality time with their family, this couple is out working to protect the lives of the people in the community.

She continued, “We are husband and wife, parents to four beautiful girls, we are a son and a daughter, a Brother and sister, a grandson and granddaughter, a Niece and nephew. (Steven is also an army veteran). We are friends to many.”

Brittany understands that a lot of people are expressing their hate to law enforcement officers because they have had bad encounters with police. However, she believes that it should not be the case.

“Before you say hateful things and put all officers in a category. Remember we are all individuals attached to a delicate thin blue line. We are attacked daily and getting killed just for putting on a badge. You voice your opinion, and rally against law enforcement over tickets!! We are risking our lives.”

It turned out that when Brittany was 3 years old, her mother was murdered. With this, she felt the need to serve others and help protect lives and so she decided to become a part of the police force.
