As many of you know, within the course of one week, four police officers were killed in the line of duty. One just forty miles from my home. On May 15^th, the 34th Annual National Peace Officers’ Memorial Day Service will be held in front of our nation’s Capitol, with Barack Obama in attendance. The morale of our police officers across the nation is reportedly dishearteningly low. So in response, at least a handful are threatening a peaceful protest of their own. From the Daily Caller:

A law enforcement source told TheDC that some attendees are threatening to turn their backs on President Barack Obama at the annual National Peace Officers Memorial Service at the Capitol, where Obama is scheduled to deliver remarks. Obama made comments in the past that many in the police community found offensive.

I wouldn’t blame them one bit, since he’s turned his back on them. The numbers of officers killed in the line of duty has spiked under Obama’s “watch.” And yes, he should be ashamed. Remember this?

But most officers are not expected to participate in any civil disobedience.

“This event is not to honor the president of the United States. It’s to honor the officers who have been slain in the line of duty,” [an officer] said. “And I think the vast majority of police officers in attendance understand that the National Police Officers Memorial Service is to honor those in our brotherhood that have passed away and that have paid the ultimate sacrifice. No, we don’t anticipate that happening.”
