re: I am really confused by progs vitriol towards cops and the anthem

What you fail to appreciate is the fact that the overwhelming number of police officers are like teachers in most people’s eyes. They are underpaid and often dedicated civil servants. Cops have to combat the most vile in society and can be killed in the line of duty. So instead of being villianized they should be honored.

What about the National Anthem? How is protesting the Anthem viable? How does disrespecting our nation make a point and what point does it make?
