The president of the Houston Police Officers' Union isn't mincing words after four officers were shot and one was injured while serving a narcotics warrant on the city's southeast side.
During a press conference early Monday evening outside Memorial Hermann Hospital, Joe Gamaldi put anyone caught stirring anti-law enforcement rhetoric in the community on notice.
"We are sick and tired of having targets on our back," Gamaldi said. "We are sick and tired of having dirtbags trying to take our lives when all we're trying to do is protect this community and protect our families."

I saw a lot of Officer Standdowns sitting on their
hands when Trump supporters were being set upon.
To many openings only covers chest/back. Gut, arms, legs, hands, head are left open. Nor are they the same high quality as Military vest.
>>Police support santuary cities, violating State and federal law. They are criminals and deserve zero sympathy or support.<<
If you can, would you explain your comment in greater detail. Are you referring to police in general, or to specific police departments?

Fully agree with where you’re coming from, but there’s a mitigating factor there and that is the chain of command. I suspect many officers on the street are caught between a rock and a hard place, because if they stand down they may be doing so in order not to be disciplined or fired or charged with a crime. They’re really in a position similar to the grunts in combat who must risk their lives to comply with ridiculous ROEs devised by politicians and JAGs.
Still is. I am anti thug. If cops behave like thugs then Im anti thug. If police decide to protect and serve then they arent thugs.
Just search on police standing around while peaceful Trump supporters are attacked.
When the police are more willing to attack average citizens for revenue over their jobs of protect and serve then I will be anti thug!
I wont post the many links I have of police killing average citizens. The police picked sides in some areas of this country. The picked thugs and do not deserve respect, tax dollars, or respect.
Having said that, I have a city/town south of me where the police serve. They are great. Sheriff department is great. North of me is a revenue focused disease of a police force. Screw them.
“At least they managed to show up at the right address. “
