I have admittedly been largely absent from mainstream media for the past… Oh, I don't know five years or so. I don't catch a lot of these types of things, so I'm glad this was posted. Why? Because this is a big deal. This is a police organization asking that public protest be squashed, be something that needs apology for. This is horseshit! Those guys can come out and make any sort of protest they see fit, so long as the NFL doesn't find fault with it but it's certainly not the place of the police to say what they can and cannot have a public opinion about. In fact, it's even more so not the place of the police when that opinion is about them. Do your job, do it well and none of this happens.
