but let's be honest, there are just as many police officers pulled off the streets to work the Pro-War rallies, as well. These folks want their slogans out there just as much as the protesters do.
I got your point the first time Janice. Your writing was clear to me. I just don't agree, but that's okay.
Still, there are less pro-war rallies which means that on a day-to-day basis, they are not pulling as many cops from "real work". This is all I was saying. If you have 100 anti-war protests this month and 30 pro-war rallies this month, there are more cops, overall, that are not being used to protect it's citizens from terrorists etc. because they are at the anti-war protests. I am sure that the number of anti-war protests, marches etc. outnumber pro-war rallies 100:1, easily, if not more. I'm only guessing and could be off with my estimate as I have not seen any data on this. I'm basing my estimate on what I have seen on TV (liberal and conservative stations), heard on the radio and seen with my own eys.
This may seem stupid for me to hold on this but it's relevant because because there are so many anti-war protests going on these days. Now that they have turned to violence, more cops will now be needed than at the beginning. It's all about timing giving policeman the respect that they deserve.
Anyway, it's interesting to hear different viewpoints on this.
