I would like to try to understand the disdain and even hate some socialist Democrats have toward our police.
I realize the hate for the cop who put his knee on George Floyd’s neck — who, in my mind, was trying to murder him. Thankfully he was accused of murder, and I am sure the overwhelming majority of police support this decision.
But I can’t understand the reason for burning and looting by both Black and white people while some Democratic mayors and governors tell police to stand down. Demonstrators are allowed to throw rocks, bottles and exploding “cocktails,” spit on police and, on occasion, shoot them.
Let’s assume someone breaks into your house and you call 911 (I believe you can still call 911, although some liberal Democrats want you to call another number). Lo and behold, you are sent a social worker to talk to the intruder and possibly have him explain something terrible must have happened to him growing up, like his mom dressed him funny, to make him a criminal. This could happen if you defund the police. This is beyond stupidity.
I find it interesting the Monday morning quarterbacks on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and NBC, and at The Washington Post and New York Times, seem to be cop haters. They must have no idea what policemen must put up with.
If only these cowards would back the cops instead of putting them down. But that won’t happen.
God bless America, while we still have one.
