Quote:No we don't. That's a straw man argument. And a very weak one at that!!


If a police officer decides to ignore his duties because one person is protesting the national anthem... I'd call that person a pig.


If the fat back fits... Butcher and fry it.

 

I'll type this slowly so maybe you will understand.  A police officer's duty does not include providing security during his/her off time at an event.  I would assume that somebody of your ilk would assume that a police officer refusing to provide security in his/her off time is ignoring their duty.

 

If a police officer elects to perform security at a football game, a concert or even at a local bar in their off time, they certainly are entitled to do so.  That is a voluntary job, not part of their duty.  They are not paid by their employer (State, County, City) for doing such work.

 

If anything happens at an event requiring law enforcement, then the officers on duty will respond.
