Hundreds Gather (outside Louisiana state capitol) to Pray for Law Enforcement

[cajuncocoa]

In light of the recent police shootings, hundreds of members of law enforcement and the public gathered on the steps of the state capital today to pray.

"In times of need, in times of grief, we are a state that turns to God," Gov. Bobby Jindal said. "We are a state that recognizes the power of prayer and the sanctity of human life."

Jindal asked for prayers for the safety of current officers and prayers for the families of the nine officers who have lost their lives in Louisiana this year.

"It is tempting to take the commitment and sacrifice for granted," Jindal said. "Too often we forget these officers make that sacrifice on a daily basis in order to protect our families and uphold peace in our communities."

365 cops a year are making the ultimate sacrifice? Didn't see those statistics.

Not a single word for those killed by kops.

Not a word for the families ruined by kops.

Fuck You Bobby Boy!

He's really stupid. Unfortunately his replacement won't be any better (probably David Vitter.)

from the link.

Fatal work injuries among law enforcement were actually down 20 percent to a new series low of 97 fatalities. So why are we seeing such a large increase in the storm trooper cops with their heavily militarized presence, and their police tanks?

It’s certainly not because there is some war going on against police or that their jobs are even that dangerous. In fact, police are quite safe as they bust through tens of thousands of doors annually enforcing the state’s immoral quest to control what you can and can’t put into your own body, otherwise known as the war on drugs.

According to a new FBI report, Americans are less violent than ever; its the police who’ve been increasingly violent.

Matthew 5:44?

Conscience pricked, higher love than mine activated, peace on my end accomplished, thank you.

Do your fellow man a solid, heap coals upon his head, and be rewarded for it -non-believer's mileage may vary.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Lucille again.

Here they are getting their boots licked and they still look like a-holes.

That hat falls off after a while as the smiley really gets into it. You have to watch it for a few minutes. It's pretty cool.
