Let's get something straight right now...

I appreciate whenever any of you post comments, and I rarely - if ever - do not allow them to be posted on any given blog post...  

That being said, more than a few of our readers have drawn a conclusion that I somehow support the killing of demonstrators in Minneapolis - or anywhere. I don't condone violence in any way, in fact the opposite is true. I abhor vilonce, in any form. In the cases where the two individuals died at the hands of these officers, it should not have happened and they are truly tragic. 

The problem is not necessarily unique to Minnesota, but it does seem manifest there. These protestors attempting to block or harass these officers who are following their dictate to remove violent criminals from their midst are just plain wrong. Only a fool would try to stop an officer - any officer - from doing his or her job, and is always at fault. Always. No excuses. Would they try to prevent a cop from catching a bank robber or murderer? Of course not, so why is this different. The difference is, sadly, politics. 

 

Minneapolis is a deep blue City in a deep blue state. We get it. But going up against armed Law Officers with whistles and horns and even fireworks is just plain stupid. These issues are resolved in the voting booth, not in the streets. Again - I abhor any violence of any kind. Don't read me wrong here. I will continue to post any comment that I think is thoughtfull and heartfelt. I treasure your opinions. I hope you understand that...
