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.

What’s crazy is thinking the status quo will change all by itself.
Spending on law enforcement increases every year and results get worse, so your “conservative” viewpoint is let’s spend more, imprison more, abuse more because……

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

It’s simple do you require an investigation to be outraged

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 not outraged about any of them...

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

divisive to honor cops

Yep that’s not outraged it’s disappointing ya ok

from 3000 miles away

Yet claiming it’s time for two country’s ! over this is called what exactly

If not outraged ?

How many years did they need to run the flag on the field to please you. They did it for 3 years and only during football.

Yet A Texas school board rejects 'In God We Trust' signs in Arabic and another with GOD in rainbow color lettering

new Texas law
Texas law that requires public schools to display a poster bearing the U.S. motto, "In God We Trust." The law's main requirements are that the posters include the state and U.S. flags, and that schools don't pay for them.


Did see your disappointment with school administration denial of those flag claiming they had enough?



You Probably Pride ,

seeing sedition is on your mind

Keep convincing yourself it’s not about outrage

Just suggesting it’s about Stupidity from school administration

Is a joke

Perspective is clearly something you 2 don’t have
