Those who know me and have followed me for a time know that I am a law enforcement officer who has been working in LE since the 70s. That’s a damned long time; longer than I’d thought about for quite a while.
I have worked for the feds, for the FBI and the US Marshals. I have worked for another Fornicalia county as a deputy sheriff and for my current major Fornicalia sheriff’s department for over 35 years now. I am currently a Sergeant for a major 2,000+ department and have been its Rangemaster and EVOC Supervisor. I have worked for many years in Patrol and Detectives, in Theft, Child Abuse, Warrants, Robbery and Homicide.
With all that in mind, I proffer this story for you all:
Police Protesters Desecrate Fallen Officer Memorial
by Kayleigh McEnany
In an astonishing display of disrespect, police protesters defiled a fallen officer memorial in Denver, Colorado on Saturday, covering it in fake blood.
As if this bloody, distasteful symbol was not enough, one protester knelt down and shot a bird in front of the memorial, an image the activist group “Anonymous” opted to tweet out to it’s 1.45 million followers.
Denver police officers watched helplessly, choosing to honorably obey the instruction from their superiors to stand down. Forced to watch the protesters they were there to protect desecrate their fallen brothers and sisters, the officers reportedly had tears in their eyes in the aftermath.
Meanwhile, “Anonymous” cheered the protesters on on social media, sending this insensitive tweet in response to the officers’ tears.
Let me repeat, at the risk of being redundant: their “superiors told them to stand down.”
As in: the Denver PD administration, via their Chief of Police. Only the COP could make that call.
The Denver Chief of Police is a man named Robert C. White. And that order came down from nowhere other than his office. No underlings could make that official call and get away with it.
Here is your police memorial, Chief Robert C. White. I hope you’re happy. You not only do law enforcement a disservice, you hock phlegm on the graves of those officers who have laid down their lives before you.
You make me sick.
Ironically, on a date meant to commemorate love, these protesters opted to spew vitriolic hate. The protesters for “justice” insolently covered the names of heroes and peacemakers like Officer Celena Hollis, a 32-year-old cop who was shot in the head while trying to break up a fight at a jazz festival in 2012. Officer Hollis’ murderer received a maximum 26-year sentence as a result of a plea bargain. Officer Hollis received no justice.
A black female, one of the most extolled of “victims” extant in Leftist philosophy, was kicked aside because she was a Aunt Tom in the eyes of the protesters, because she dared to become a cop and a sheepdog instead of a sheep.
Chief White, you’re a lapdog for Leftists. And to let a police officer memorial be desecrated because of your political bent?
You don’t deserve to wear your badge.
And this, sir, from someone who has worked much longer than you in law enforcement.

Sadly, it is the average citizen, the public that will pay for this. The police will stop protecting others, and circle the wagons and protect themselves, and do the minimum. When the public tell the police to stop doing their job, they stop. WIthout public support, cops will stop protecting the public. Only after the public becomes deep in trouble again, will cops be asked to returning to what they are supposed to do.
Another 911 is what it will take if this keeps up.
You have nailed it. LE officers are human, they are not robots. “When the public tell the police to stop doing their job, they stop.”
That should shock no one.
There is insurrection in the air on many fronts. I have no idea what form this will take or when, but Leftists keep pushing and pushing, in DC and around the nation.
Regular people, actual taxpayers, have a fiscal and mental limit.

Denver is about to become the next Ferguson thanks to a liberal ass clown police chief and probably a like minded liberal mayor. The city deserves what happens next. Karma is a bitch.
I wonder how all the legal dope smoking is working out for Denver PD, eh wot?

Sadly, it is the general public that will suffer, AND it’s the general public that caused it.
We voted these pussies into office.
We deserve what we’re about to experience.
(Except those of us that have been shouting like idiots for years, looking like idiots.)
I represent that. Sir.

This current round of asshattery started when a “Transgendered” young adult played stupid games with a stolen car and got shot. Happens when you use a vehicle to assault the police. You have a liberal, black mayor and his black Chief pandering to their base. Hope officers turn their backs on them.
