In reply to the discussion: Stop asking why the Texas police response was a clusterf#*k [View all]Traildogbob
(8,861 posts)22. I respect all of us.
Army and Marines took the fight to the face of the enemy. Our Seals, bad ass as are all Special Ops. We all gave other branches hell but when the fighting started, we all had each others back. And still do as veterans. Except Air Force, they are wusses, 😉. Just kidding. Its the Coast Guard, Navy Shoreline sailors, scared to go deep out there, that are wusses, 😉 again just kidding. Cheers to every service member active and veterans. Have a heart felt weekend with loved ones, many sacrificed back home, as we served.

Long way from LBJ and Ann Richards. Molly Ivins died too soon. Is Hightower still active?

Is it simply a party change? Because that wouldn't explain the Minneapolis Police Department.
