While I think the council woman is a dangerous agitator, I am not thrilled with this comment:
“...who put their lives on the line everyday for the citizens of this community”
Lots of people do that. Utility linemen, steel workers, painters, drywallers, cabbies, convenience store workers, truck drivers soldiers, electricians, anybody who works in a refinery or a drilling rig.
The difference is no other group demands respect.
“The difference is no other group demands respect.”
Not at the point of a government issued gun anyway.
Those people you named are not usually facing people with guns who knows how to use them. I have never had any trouble with the police here but I rarely have to call them. Back in February, I called to report something very strange. I was sitting on the love seat by a window. I heard an unusual sound, got up and looked out so I could see better. I saw a nut in a truck who pulled up next to my car. I watched in disbelief as he opened my car trunk. I should have stayed still but I moved the blinds and he took off. I knew people could open other people’s garages but that was the first time the police had heard about trunks. We wondered just how many other trunks had been opened without anyone ever knowing about it.
Oh, puhleeeze. Are you an adolescent, or just imitating?
