We seem to be in danger of replaying the long, hot summers of the late 1960s and early 1970s when the radical left declared open warfare on cops. The above billboard was put up by the Minneapolis police department in 1971 showing an officer giving mouth to mouth resuscitation to a boy. The poster went “viral” across the nation.
In the wake of the murder of five cops in Dallas by sniper Micah Xavier Johnson, intent on killing as many white cops as he could, my memory was jogged about that billboard. Cops are not above criticism, and over the years I have done a fair amount of that. However, cops have a very tough job. Most of them do that job as best as they are capable, fairly and with a quiet heroism when they are called upon to go towards danger while the rest of us run from it as fast as we can. Let’s let Jack Webb as Detective Joe Friday have the last word:
“Some call him pig” include Hillary and Obama.

This AM at 7:30 Mass, the names were read of the Dallas police victims.
Adam-12, Season 3 – “Elegy for a Pig” was always one of my favorites. Didn’t think we’d be going through all of that again.
The five cops were murdered in Dallas, not Houston.
I love Dragnet. Jack Webb, a great. The video referenced at the end of this one is good too. Made in 2009, it shows the agitator in chief started fueling this war on police way shortly after entering office.

“The five cops were murdered in Dallas, not Houston.”
Oops, corrected!
This is why TAC is great.
They..you, have the fingertips that match the heart and head…and thank God that your in synchronization with what is and not what isn’t.
Great clips Don and Kyle!
Thank you both.
We too offered prayers to our fallen brothers and their families executed in Dallas.
Obama…..the great….ahh…the gre…the bum.
I’m trying to remember, when weren’t the Democrats at war with the police since the 1960’s? There’s always been some Communist front, ecoterrorist, or something calling for this kind of thing.
We need to pray and strongly support for the police. I would guess that right now many of them are quitting or thinking of quitting due to lack of support. Just think of how it would be in large cities without much of a police presence. Let’s hope we will find out. Because Batman won’t be coming to the rescue.

When they think they can draft them to their purposes.
Interesting article by another 1970s cop…

Well said. More of an issue over here in Britain than Stateside I think but still insighful…
Speaking of the pig slur, when I was growing up in Detroit, there was a music group made up of cops called the Blue Pigs. They used to perform, in uniform, at local Detroit schools.
