Jefferson Par. Deputies Refuse Shifts at a HS Football Game

These high school kids are really being effective in bringing light to racists, in their own police department, by simply bending a knee.

Well done, kids. Well done.

This is local to me. I wouldn't expect anything less from the sheriff, he's a piss of shit.

It's really too bad that law enforcement officers are made to feel like they have to stand in solidarity with their racist, murderer colleagues. Of course some of them must feel the same way (like these assholes) but some must not.

They should not be offered any more detail shifts ( extra shifts). In most lines of work if you start turning down overtime you go to the bottom of the list to be offered overtime.

Most LEO I know pay their bills with overtime. Hit those racist jackholes where it hurts the most. In their wallets. Refuse OT, Don't get offered OT.

Disgusting. Police men and women swear an oath to serve and protect. Yet, many, far too many, are not doing so equally for the citizens in their cities and in towns. As a person who pays their salaries with my tax dollars, you better believe I have the right to protest the treatment bad cops not only inflict but get away with it. Shouldn't the standards of one who has taken the oath, been trained in fire arms and self-defense be higher than the average citizen? Shouldn't the punishment that follows said behavior be to the fullest? They have shown themselves to be without honor. Without moral code. Rather than protected by their brethren they should be outcasts.

The anthem is not just about military service or those who serve as law enforcement officers. It is about the rights and liberty of all of our citizens and it has been proven time and again, that not everyone is treated equally. When little to no respect is shown, well then, blind loyalty and respect will not be gained. These officers should be ashamed of themselves.
