Those funeral customs go back to the 19th century when many big city police departments were largely Irish immigrants who brought the traditions with them. Kind of dumb to get pissed off and demand they stop now.
Were not in the 19th Century...Gezzz
But back then they didn’t back up traffic into the next city, causing a chain reaction giant traffic jams for 20 miles on freeways and surface streets etc...
I’m not just against LEO’s doing this, I am against “ALL” funeral processions on public roads...Anywhere near one of these large mortuaries it’s a living nightmare for those living anywhere near them as it happens DAILY....
They are a clear hazard and cause unbelievable accidents and major traffic jams....Let them meet at the mortuary...Save everyone a major pain in the azz...
Sorry, but ALL the military style crap needs knocked off until they get it that they aren’t soldiers. That includes rank designations and fruit salad.
The HIGHEST honor is to die for country, and that should be reserved solely for U.S. troops. To give that special honor to police officers cheapens it for our troops.
American flags at police dept. funerals REINFORCES THE NATIONALIZATION OF OUR POLICE DEPARTMENTS!!!!
