let's be real cautious about this. They-gop-want us to be anti police. We want churches to stop in person services, but Democrats adhere to religion too. Not all of us, but enough.
These stories SEEM to have a way to begin a narrative that the "complainants" back out of, then leave the argument in the ethosphere where it gets turned against Ds.
I'm not sure what to think bout this, but, it's important (IMHO) not to get dragged into debates and positions that are later used against us.
Ds are not anti police. We are not anti religion.
We are for America and Americans.
Some things aren't a national battle for us all the time.
Haven't yet decided how I feel about this but, when we choose sides SOMETIMES, it's used against us.
Police are Democrats too. Believe it or not.
