Cops ditch duty over WNBA players' protest When Minnesota Lynx players wore T-shirts in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, four police officers walked off the job. Ill-advised move

So when is exercising the right of free speech (the players) outweigh the same right of the non duty cops to say "we disagree and are offended" and not VOLUNTARILY work a basketball game. This is why we have these issues because one group thinks they have the right to rub something in the face of others, and then get pissy when the other group says "NO". Idiots. When are rights eaqually available to all? Even if under a contract, I don't think that means adding insult to injury.

    Typical of my home states metro area. Take away the right to rescind a voluntary action always supportting a victim mentality.
    In the 90's we had a flood of single moms and their multiple kids migrate from Chicago as we had more entitlements and each kid ment mo money. The babies daddy's were close behind.
    To husband the cash.
    This group organized gangs and as a small % of the pop were responsible a high percentage of crime.
    Many more drive by , and revenge fires,shootings.
    Another issue is education, the inner city schools with very poor grades for minorities has spent a fortune dumbing down the curricula and trying to suspend as many white kids (almost a bounty system) as possible to even out the ratio of population vs suspensions In our capital city.
    Victim based mentality and it just gets worse and worse. How about produce create or be of value.

      Thank you for the insight. It is a shame that on one hand we get people who insist on having their way, and when someone else does the same, they are castigated. Protest all you want, be prepared for the response. Your points are valid, a lot of it is the freeloader syndrome and the jackals that follow free food trails...
