WASHINGTON — The White House refused a call by a Republican congressman to light the White House blue Monday for National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day (L.E.A.D.).

“Obama has not agreed to do so, but has displayed lights at the White House for other groups in the past, including the LGBT community,” a spokeswoman from Republican Washington Rep. Dave Reichert’s office told The Daily Caller Sunday night.

President Obama previously refused to light up the White House with blue lights in support of the fallen officers following an ambush on law enforcement in Dallas last July.

How? Seriously?! Just ask. I’m confident that if you send him (his staff) an email, they will pass it on to him and he’ll give it the thumbs up.

I don’t think the WH should EVER be lit up in ANY color, period. Enough of this emasculated, effeminate, weak and embarrassing cutesy crap! It’s the White House, damn it!

You are right. The White House is not a billboard. Things like this detract from its dignity.

Police officers do not demand respect. They earn it every day by having to help even fools such as you.

Secondly, the above reply is really wasted time. Any 7 year-old who does not understand the difference between Orlando and the Ft. Lauderdale Airport or has no concept of a Civil Society should not be allowed internet access by their mommy and daddy.

Trying to teach you something is like trying to teach a pig to dance.

1: it will never happen.
2: it’s a waste of one’s time
3: it just frustrates the pig

You will not be replied to.

God has one of those named “the angel of the LORD” who in one night of about 8 hours murdered 186,000 assyrians... enforcing God’s law with extreme prejudice with the “edge of the sword”... if you take it literally as I do...

that means roughly 6.5 dead assyrians per second...

1 riot one ranger.
1 invasion one angel
.

1 dumb ass leader... just send in the worms like ole Herod got in Acts

"Oh, and those LEOs dead in Orlando are so because LEOs in Anchorage didn’t do their job."

???? Was this intended sarcasm, or did you actually mean it?

The LEOs in Anchorage explained that although they had doubts about his mental state after interviewing him, they were forced BY LAW to return his gun & ammo, because those can only be confiscated after someone is Adjudicated Mentally Incompetent.

Look up the definition of the term. Hint: It says nothing about an LEO deciding on his own which citizens without criminal records are defined to be AMI, and can thus have their guns confiscated without court action.

” . . . how can we ask Trump to authorize lighting up Trump Tower in blue?)”

That would be an outstanding idea! It certainly would show up Hussein as to who actually respects law enforcement officers.

I would prefer that this practice stop. Treat the White House with respect.

I was referring to the failure to investigate his claims.

It’s downright bizarre that with the saturation coverage of the incident, nobody wants to go there.
