Why is it political if people are expressing their genuine concern in an adult-like respectful manner?

Part of our problem these days is the sidelining of reality for more of what folks would like to hear VS what is really happening.

And that is not nor intended to be a political statement.

I just pray for the families, friends and colleagues of the officers shot. Why assume this is a racial issue? It seems to me it's just a lack of authority. We can't blame the parents for how an adult child acts. We need to look at where this disrespect and hatred is continually expressed. Maybe it's the media, schools, colleges, friends and just because the United States is so set on being politically correct that we don't trust each other anymore. Maybe it all started when we took prayer out of schools and continue to remove God from all of what our founding fathers based this great government foundation. Police Officers go to work every day and deal with negativity. Either answering calls to a domestic, burglaries, accidents,death notification to loved ones or issuing a ticket. Almost everyone they deal with is in the worst day of their life. Why should they also have to look over their shoulders in fear of their lives at any moment of the day? I say pray for all law enforcement officers and when you see one during the day, thank him for doing his job. Even if it's you having the worst day of your life.

Dialog? This has now become a civil war. I really wish I could say what I want to about those people shooting the Police Officers but I probably would get banned for life from TOTV. The Police were justified in shooting those two idiots in Minnesota and Louisiana because they had weapons on themselves and failed to comply; the shootings of the Officers in Baton Rouge and Dallas were nothing but a retaliatory ambush.

RIP to the Baton Rouge LEO's and prayers to their comrades and family; may the shooters of the Police Officers in Baton Rouge, Dallas and everywhere else burn in hell.

Sorry KC. This is a serious subject, and I was trying to lighten things up a touch. Like most of us I'm extremely upset about what is happening in our country, and am especially concerned about all our LEOs.

I think I need a break from TOTV for awhile. I seem to be the odd to everyone's even today.
