Editor, The Commercial:
Why are we having a friendship day to recognize police officers? Police officers should not be hated by any community. Police officers protect our communities.
Think what it would be like if there were no police officers in our communities. Our police officers are part of our communities.
I see them everywhere. Their children go to our schools. I have seen them in local restaurants.
Why are we protesting about what happened to that young man in Ferguson? That young man attacked a police officer and tried to take his gun.
Independent reporting for Pine Bluff & Jefferson County since 1879.
Why are we protesting? Police officers want to go home to their wives and children after work just like everyone else.
If you want to protest, go to the Ozarks and protest. Go to the Ozarks and smash store windows, turn over cars and burn them.
Go to the Ozarks and do this and see what you get.
