Quote:Nope, not the slightest. They aren't there in their official capacity, they are free to protest, just like everyone else in the country can. Do you think only certain people should be allowed to exercise their rights?

 

Couple assumptions:  If the game is part of your assigned beat, boycotting is is basically saying that you are not going to do your job of pretecting and serving.  And it makes you a worthless cop that has no sense of the Constitution.  Thus a pig.

 

If, on the other hand, working the 49ers game is on a voluntary basis and the cops choose not to volunteer for overtime.. meh...  Whatever.  That's up to you.  I still think it's lame.  But it's your time.  

 

That's fair right?  I'm sure you'll disagree.  But I think if you are required to work the beat as part of your assigned duties, and you decide that you are gonna boycott it because one person or even a minority of people within a venue is exercising thier constitutional rights, you were not a very good cop to begin with.
