 |  It is a snarky response.  If you think my post are "dead horses", then don't comment. Or do you have such little self control you can't help yourself.  Unless of course you are just trying to be a dic k. |

				 | Another one of Jim’s outrage emails Imagine that..
 
 But you’ll never see Jim outraged when
 
 SAN ANTONIO PD
 COP OPENS FIRE ON TEEN AT MICKEY D'S
 
 Or when a state trooper 1st on the sight in Uvalde who didn’t  go in.
 
 , she can be heard on body camera footage talking to fellow officers when someone asks if she had children at the school that day.
 
 "If my son had been in there, I would not have been outside," she said. "I promise you that.
 
 Iam guess Jim doesn’t get those stories in his outrage inbox

 |  investigate it.  if the cops did anything wrong, punish them.
 
is that going too fast for you?  Let me know if that’s going too fast for you. 
 
The cops i was referring to, charged towards gunfire to save other people’s children. thats who that flag was obviously intended for, and if you’re too stupid to see that, that’s your problem. And if honoring them is offensive to you, well, you picked the right political party.   stay there. 
 
It’s offensive to honor heroes, as long a slandering them helps democrats win elections.  Great message to kids wayne, all cops are responsible for what the bad ones do, and we can’t celebrate what the heroes do. Why do democrats despise common sense?

 |  The country you want is one where police officers stand together, with strong unions and qualified immunity so they can protect the lawbreakers among them?
 
It’s nothing new and has been accepted for years.
 
Ask the police chief in your locale about his management issues with bad apples. You complain about teachers unions, they pale in comparison to the power of police.

  |  Was just going to respond with that, thank you sir.
 
Pete, the question stands, is that going too fast for you?
 
The country I'd like (but I'm not so naive to think it's realistic) is one where bad cops get investigated, but also one where heroic cops who display stupefying bravery, are celebrated.
 
You take issue with that vision?  
 
You're having a very, very rough couple of days here Pete.  Not presenting yourself well at all, you're coming totally un-glued.  It's not necessary, the left is positioned to do a lot better than what I was expecting... |

 |  It’s really simple and I’ll quote you 
“ all cops are responsible for what the bad ones do, ”
 
Yes, they are responsible for allowing it to happen and standing by and not interfering. 
Just like the other three officers present at George Floyd’s killing. 
This stuff goes on every day.
 
We have made some progress but as usual the return to status quo is far too easy.
 
I’m waiting to see a cop get celebrated for stopping his fellow officers misdeeds, not framed or put in harms way

 |  So cops in one state who ran towards fire, are somehow supposed to "interfere" when cops in another state misbehave.  That's brilliant, and not even a little bit crazy. |

Jim your upset a parent exercised their rights to be informed and involved in their childrens school
 
You just can  man up and accept what they did because you don’t like it..
 
Go ban some more books.  That didn’t bother you but stoping a police flag running across a field get your patriot anger flowing

  |  I can see how you’re confused 
 
Jim’s more outraged over a stoping a police flag as are you? 
 
Then police kill  kid in McDonald’s 
 
Or another saving her own skin by not going in cuz here child wasn’t there
 
But already know jims thinks these outrages he post are equal 
 
To my examples
 
He and you use investigators as excuses so you don’t take a position

When a kid gets shot in a McDonald’s by police  
Or a cop refused to go into harms way because here kid wasn’t in that school
 
Or is it more worthy and outrageous post. when a school stopped a police flag before a high school football game 
 
Because the police are victims again ?

 |  i’m disappointed , not outraged, that it’s divisive to honor cops who run into gunfire to save other people’s children. They can’t make me wrong, so they spin it as fake fox news outrage |
