Just fucking amazing. Trump continuously boasts that he is pro-law enforcement. Iirc, Trump has said the Police “love him”, as well as he is the one that will guarantee law and order. </p>
<p>So, that said, a member of the US Capitol Police, a sharp force, )who’s jurisdiction is limited to the US Capital, but are in fact a Law enforcement agency), was killed by insurgents as they stormed the US Capitol. </p>
<p>I find it ironic that flags are flying at half-mast on Capitol Grounds, yet the leader who claims to be pro law enforcement, has refused to allow WH flags to be dropped to half-mast. </p>
<p>In any other situation, and under anyone else’s leadership, this display to honour the service of the officers who gave his life would be a no-brainer. Yet, under Trump, this officer gets no honour or respect from the current “leader” of the US. This is the same officer who family has been offered the choice to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery. So, while the rest of the US mourn the loss of an officer attempting to do his job and protect the Capitol, as well as it’s legislature. </p>

<p>This is just yet another example of Trump taking a shit on the very people who took an oath to protect a part of this country, with their lives, if needed. </p>
<p>Yet, Trump and his sycophants blocked National Guard Units, who sat at the ready at state borders. They could not enter the city without the proper approval. One can only imagine if that one officer who’s still be alive, should the National Guard been slowed to enter the city for support. </p>
<p>I guess the rules are different when the person behind the insurrection is the same one who failed to protect the building, and the legislative bodies of the House and Senate. </p>
<p>Anyone who can justify this action / inaction by Trump is neither a Democrat or Republican. They stand outside of the rule of law as defined in the Constitution, as well as subsequent policy. </p>
<p>Trump and his lackeys are less American than I am, and I am not an “American” by any means, but only am considered a citizen, as recognition of the fact that I was born here, due to my father working in D.C., and I do not pledge any oath to this country, it’s Constitution, or any aspect of this country’s policies or rules of government, so that’s a pretty low bar that I set. </p>
<p>My allegiance is to Canada, and then to myself. I view this country the same way I do any of the other sovereign nations that exist globally. </p>
<p>On a much better note, I hear that the Bucs won last night. So, at least there’s that. 😎
