Yes, it is a tragedy that our nation has to deal with a high amount of execution-like slayings of people who stand behind the blue line (some brown & black & other colors as well) and are hired to enforce our laws, who lately have been involved in some questionable reactions to people they have either stopped for questioning, stopped for a traffic violation, or went to a residence to check on a crime reported to them via their Command or Communication Centers, (which is usually the most dangerous for P.O’s) and unfortunately were eventually slain for wearing the Uniform more than for knowing the individual when a Perpetrator panicked of course and either used a knife, gun, or other dangerous weapon to slay the Officer who never had a chance to call STOP, HALT, VERBOTEN! or Mira, Mira, I am not mad at you, let’s first talk awhile my friend, amigo, Senor, or with any other language they run into, but the time for a dialogue had already passed when the Officers came into view of this Perpetrator, who was having their own issues, so time ran out for everyone at the scene…and we now know what happened to a certain degree that is, but again it was too late when the two sides came into view of each other. The tragedy lies in; WE CAN NOT GET EITHER SIDES BACK TO THE TABLE TO TALK NOW FOLKS! The worse part is no one really tried to talk first then take action, so the action part led the list and now most likely someone is dead, all because we felt like there was no choice but to be tough and not to be nice, in an increasing number of cases, the Officer was ambushed, at least this is the way it went down. God bless all their souls.
I believe that America is the exception — that we, with a diversity of races, religions, and ideolgies — can not just tolerate each other, but communicate, cooperate, and build an ever stronger nation than those with mere monocultures.
Don’t you think you are equally bigoted? What with viewing things through such ideological eyes?I am glad I’m not you either. I used to be you but I grew up. Did Obama do, and say, things that could be construed as encouragement? Did he, in some way, that you might not understand that could have encouraged the mentally unhinged to act out? And did your worldview miss it?
My God! Seems like Trump will be held responsible for everything bad for the next 4 yrsThis cartoon is about respect for a fallen officer of the law and a family member Stop trying to tie your political bias this tragedy.
Conservatives running around screaming “Liberals don’t have eyes and ears!”Let me clue you in – We saw and we heard it right the first time. Liberals instituted a nation of laws, Conservatives wanted to continue to live under George III. Liberals want law enforcement to live under the same laws as everyone else. Conservatives want to make the enforcers the law. Liberals do not complain when the system identifies, convicts and sentences a killer or frees the innocent based on FACTS. Conservatives want to demand everyone who looks like a killer to be subject to a sentence because they can’t distinguish one person from another – but don’t identify them with the words from the people they support!
… and definitely don’t identify them along with the killers that look like them.
Blue lives matter. They don’t matter more than any other lives. Black lives matter, you can go home at night and take off your blue uniform. You can not take off your black skin before going out side and being targeted. Lets give thanks for all of our police who protect us. All of our neighbors regardless of religion, skin color or wealth, and our freedoms.
If we fail to bow down & kiss Obama’s feet, it’s because of ‘bigotry’. Couldn’t POSSIBLY be because his ideas SUCK and because he at least appears to be far more in sympathy with the BLM movement than with cops.

I think deepest condolences to the family of San Antonio Officer Marconi is all that needs to be said.

There’s more finger pointing on this strip than Pavarotti at a Krispy Kreme.
