Because he's not a Congressman.
I'm not sure how he passed. If assault was a factor. If so, who perpetrated it.

But, the fact is the view is that.
They are our superiors. Their lives mean more.
Like us, this cop is nothing to these shitheads.

What does that have to do with my response to the statement that the Democrats set this all up, nothing.

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.



But your side says they deserve honor all the time.

Yet you won’t do it when a violent group carrying Trump flags kills a cop.

You may be right about the left. That doesn’t change the point.

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


Is there a history of America putting flags at half-mast over an officer dying in the line of duty?

If I'm mistaking the OP for someone else I apologize but I thought he was a democrat voter. In that case you should be calling for the American flag to be burned and be celebrating the cops death.

That’s a standard response. Challenge/ask someone if they’re being intellectually consistent and the response is either “that’s whataboutism” or “that’s not what we’re taking about” or similar.

Which is an answer in and of itself.

Not anymore than Ashley Babbitt’s life but the media calls her a thug. She was a 14 year veteran and a mother of two

Bingo, his faux outrage is palatable. No doubt he thinks the officers death is tragic, but he's not going to let a bad situation go to waste and start trying to gain political points.

Google Trump half-mast cop and see the news results you get. Leftist rags bitching about it within the last 18 hours or so. And here comes Judge Holden, independent thinker, the very next morning with scorepad in hand.

Military folks were killed almost daily in the ME, police get killed all the time. Just b/c it was on the Capitol doesn't mean you put your flags at half staff, but if you'd like to, you definitely have that right.
