The France Terrorist Attacks Just A Reminder How Silly The Anti Police Protests Have Been
Some brave French law enforcement officers did what cops do: put their life on the line to save others. We run out. They run in. Thank you.

I just want to give a shout out to all cops everywhere. They’ve been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons. Ferguson, Eric Ganer etc. Dumb ass protests all over the country. And then shit like France happens. Madman terrorists running wild, killing people, talking hostages etc. Who is called upon to risk their own lives to save other people’s lives? Policeman. Sure they make mistakes. Sure some are assholes, but it doesn’t matter what country we’re talking about. It doesn’t matter whether it’s 9/11, the Boston Marathon or Charlie Hebdo, law enforcement put their lives on the line day in and day out to protect everyday citizens. That’s why it’s so infuriating to see people holding signs like “cops are fascist murderers” and things of that nature based on 2 isolated incidents. I’m not saying those particular cups should have been indicted or shouldn’t have been. But to just lump all cops together and treat them as the enemy is insane. Unfortunately there is real evil in the world. There is real crime in this world. It’s easy to take cops for granted but days like these remind you just how much they are needed.
PS – Still doesn’t mean you can’t laugh at cops getting whooped on by a slippery hill though…
