Policemen deserve everyone’s respect

-

The Democrat National Convention featured the mothers of black sons who were shot or killed by policemen. The platform given to these women was incredibly irresponsi­ble. Their appearance seemed to be for the purpose of perpetuati­ng the false narrative that the approximat­ely 900,000 policemen serving our communitie­s are racists, especially to the black population, and worthy of not being respected. Lives of people of all colors are served by this admirable profession. Sadly, it is a very dangerous job. The profession should not be targeted by politics.
