6. Come on now. You gotta give us more time than 15 minutes.

Here's a primer for DU.
A lot of people are one issue posters. A lot of people will judge the "reasons" why a person posted something, especially if they have sparred with someone over the same issue. A lot of people read without ever responding or reccing. Your views count all of that. Give it some time. You got recs and responses. That doesn't happen all the time. But the focus should be on Officer More, not on how many people end up reccing your post.  |

We don't have special threads for people gunned down everyday because of gun violence, so why are police officers so special?
I'm sick and tired of police officers being treated as Gods while most people who are shot and killed barely make it in the police press release.  |

67. Re: "This dude's just talking to hisself. "
Part of this thread reminds me of FR during the height of the Iraq war when one would be labeled everything from a terrorist sympathizer to a "freedom hater" for daring to question the war and Dubya. I am just sick of the mindless uniform worship and phony patriotism that certain elements of our society engages in. I do not think that a police officer getting shot deserves greater "prayers" and "good wishes" than what a average citizen gets, gun violence regardless of occupation is tragic and affects us all whether it be an officer performing his or her duties or a mom or dad driving home after a long day of work. I just wish that victims of gun violence were treated as equals and got the same attention from law enforcement, media, etc but sadly if you're John Q. Public and you get shot while sitting in your car you're lucky to get a press release written about you. No one outside of your family is going to remember you and no one is going to create posts calling for "support" and "prayers". Just the way it is. |
