Contrary to the images and agendas of too many politicians, media, special interest and minority groups!!!!!
The tactic is obvious. They clearly think if they yell louder and yell fouler they will seem important.

Sadly, history shows that it does work. Nothing new.

"Funny" commentary, really I am laughing. You must be talking about yourself because you are a minority and will continue to be going into the future. You better hope the majority doesn't look at and treat you they way you do to them. Special interests - you mean Police Unions who support bad cops! Pathetic commentaries.

Life without police would be a terrible place to be. Seems like some prefer crooks over police. We are becoming a sad country.

Reminds me of what my mother said when my brothers and I horsed around the house...

"This is why we can't have anything nice around here!"

The 'usual suspects' come out, and many times ruin, what could be, a positive discussion.

Oh for criss sakes, yes they have a very difficult job, but stop with the genuflecting and hailing the ground they walk on. They get paid. There are plenty of risky professions that deserve equal billing.

You dragged this down from some right leaning website and they made it available for a reason. Police vs Black is very much in the news spotlight, probably #1 right now. Whoever wrote this pro police sentiment had anti black running in the background. That was the intent.

Seriously they are not the baby Jesus, you can just simply respect what they do. Get off your knees, stop bowing, this “all hail police” notice has certain racial undertones.

BTW, why was the thin blue line flag being carried by the white supremist rally in Charlottesville?

Because a picture is worth a thousand words. Nothing to see? Then the camera’s not an issue. Something wrong happening? Then I want my camera and everyone else’s focused on that action. And the officers need body cameras as well. It eliminates a huge amount of disinformation and protects the Officer from false charges.

But the original intent has been met.

Note, the posts are now “we” and “they” which represents a totally ludicrous attitude.

The “support” part is or has disappeared.

But this was and is the intent...play on a situation, create a “false reality” to vent hate. Never changes.

This is so far divorced from reality, it is ridiculous. There is no “we” and “they” except for the creation of alternate reality.

They are dealing with life and death daily. Are we blind?

Thank you for this! Few people understand the sacrifices, selfless devotion and idealism required for what has become a thankless job! Can you tell where to find a printable version of this so that I can send it on to family and friends?

To orange blossom baby - the THEME today is DEMONIZE THE POLICE - NOT- SUPPORT THE POLICE. Have you not been aware of this. I am a nurse who worked for 24 years in a LEVEL 1 TRAUMA HOSPITAL in a big city. Would you like to know how many doctors that I have personally been privy to that have made deadly mistakes ? Several !!!

I don’t blast it all over the airways and social media that all doctors are terrible “Get rid of doctors in the United States “. Their errors were handled INTERNALLY.

A POLICEMAN’s job is more difficult than you could EVER KNOW. GO to one of these big cities and RIDE with one - and- get a much clearer picture of what they face EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY. I’ve done it !!! I KNOW what I’m talking about !!

There are bad apples in EVERY line of work, but for the media to CHOOSE the POLICE to demonize is just - out and out WRONG. I KNOW what a city cop deals with. And I SUPPORT them with WITHOUT RESERVATION. I support the medical field WITHOUT RESERVATION.
You might want to research in 2020
1. How many blacks have been killed by blacks in the city
2. How many police have been killed - just doing their jobs.
3. Just how many blacks have been killed by police in a country of 350 million people
4. How many whites have been killed by police.
You just might be enlightened

I support the Police 100%. Worked side by side with them on Long Island in the Fire Dept. If I see one in trouble I will assist them in anyway possible. I have close friends down here on the force also. IF there are bad apples they should be weeded out period. However Parents have a responsibility to teach their Children to respect them also. If I ever disrespected a PO when I was growing up and my Dad found out I probably still wouldn't be able to sit. Granted today's issues are also with older kids and adults, they to need to be addressed.

I am 100% in support of the police force - pray for their safety when I attend mass - as well as often as I can.
I support helping them as much as possible and would gladly offer them any food or drink or other support if one of their patrol cars is parked in my neighborhood.
They have a very difficult job and way too many unneeded and unwanted critics. We need our police, especially now.
