Maybe. But do you think this cop deserves that honor?

The last two capitol officers killed in the line of duty, got a state funeral with a their bodies in the Rotunda. Only 38 times have any coffins been in the rotunda so that's a big honor.
I'd say flags not being at half staff are unusual.

Riot More gaslighting from you.

No what happened on the 6th should be condemned by everyone.

However, your faux outrage for this officer is astounding. I dont recall ANYONE calling for flags at half staff when cops were killed during the ANTIFA/BLM/CHAZ summer of love bullshite. In fact, I remember calls for defunding the police instead, not honoring them.

Why possibly? They stormed the Capitol with the intent to interrupt the Senate's confirmation of a Supreme Court Justice, and bragged about being successful (at least temporarily).

Nope.

It's not a deflection, just an attempt to sniff out how genuine you are.

Your "possibly" answer doesn't give your concern much weight.

What's his name?

You won't even honor him with your post.
He didn't die protecting the Capitol, because the Capitol wasn't in any danger...they let them in.

Your posts suggest you only love it when the Left is in control.

Can’t we all agree he and his family deserve that honor?


The post above this literally accuses Pelosi of a coup because she put the flags at half mast to quickly.

Do we put the flag at half staff every time a cop dies ? Do we put the flag at half staff when a cop kills an unarmed veteran?

They should have been by Thursday.

Good question. There are no good answers for anything right now, unfortunately.

How about we flip that flag and hang it upside down since we are in a constitutional crisis and our country is in distress.

So DC cops matter more? If it's a cop out in the country leave the flag flying high, but if it's a DC cop half-mast?

This is stupid but I'll play.

Because you people don't care about blue lives until a cop is killed during a protest that you don't support or perhaps in this case a mostly peaceful protest with a few bad actors comparatively speaking.

Stupid progs

Never claimed to be.

So why won’t Trump put flags at half mast?
