This morning, I drove by a rather large group of white and black people who were protesting in support of law enforcement.


It was beautiful. More cars honked, in support, than did not.


The true Americans were carrying and waiving America flags and had signs that read statements like, "We support police, sheriffs and all law enforcement," and "We love law enforcement" and "Thank you for saving our lives."


People were pulling over and parking their cars to join the pro-law enforcement protest.


It was beautiful to see. I hope this trend continues and grows and grows.


I support and respect law enforcement. Thank you for risking your lives to keep me safe.

It's good to see decent Americans supporting the police rather than the leftist scum that is hell bent on the destruction of the country just to support a radical socialist liberal agenda.

Ding, ding, ding!!!!


You, my friend, hit the liberal nail on it's head.


Lefties want our great country to be a socialist cesspool. I've gone from disagreeing with the libs to having a complete and utter disdain for them and their disgusting agenda. Evil, the entire group.


Trump 2020!

I am extremely upset by the vitriol directed at all police because of what some police did. Their job is incredibly hard. They leave their families in the morning and don't know if they will be killed or maimed in the line of duty. They have been working through Covid, and dying.

They work to protect people from seriously dark forces in society. They see things they can't unsee. They bust up vicious gangs, pedophile rings, deal with grisly murders and brutal rapes, not to mention all the mundane day to day smaller crimes. But smaller crimes become bigger crimes if they are not addressed.

The conditions that allowed Derek Chauvin and other bad cops to go un-checked need to be changed. But not by de-funding or dismantling them! The bad ones can be aggressively weeded out. That is not MOST cops. If there are any law enforcement officers reading this, I appreciate you.

That is nice to hear.

I too support and respect Law Enforcement. 99% of whom do a great job keeping us safe.

I do not support LEOs or any other government employee being unionized. It crushes accountability at doing ones job well.

I'm upset too and downright p*ssed off about it.


We, collectively, should drop to our knees in gratitude that some people, who don't even know us, don a uniform and bulletproof vest and strap on a gun, 40 plus hours/week, and put their very lives in harms way to protect ours.


If all these BLM, "protesters" (read: anarchists and socialsts) and rioters think is so easy, they should do the job themselves. They're just a bunch of violent savage thugs and welfare-sucking leaches who have nothing better to do in their lives than to make others miserable.

Sad how this got zero media coverage (that I came across anyways). I put the media in the same boat as the anarchists, and socialists. The media are accomplices.

I too support law enforcement & appreciate all they do for us for the peanuts we pay them.

Some police officers are really good at their jobs. Others not so much. I appreciate the good ones, but think given our current climate it's maybe time to look into police reform for those who are a little heady with their power. Too many people, especially people of color, have died at the hands of rogue cops.

This is good to see--good balance of support.

I'd say 95% of police are good, hard-working people, who put their lives on the line every day.

They do not need to be so demonized and villified with the "bad apples" of the bunch.
