Today Is National Law Enforcement Memorial Day

On Friday, May 15 — Peace Officers Memorial Day — flags across the United States are to be flown at half-staff in remembrance of the 18,661 law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line of duty throughout our nation's history.
If you have a flag and can fly it at half-mast today, please do so in memory of the thousands of law enforcement officers who have sacrificed their lives in the course of their duties.

....Must. Show. Solidarity. With. Our. Police...

Never can tell when they might have to arrest a priest and former US Ambassador for praying.

As one who has been vitimized by police--fortunately, the DA's office agreed with my attorney so no charge were ever filed. It took six police officers and a police dog to arrest this senior citizen who was barefoot and clad only in shorts.
