Support Those Albany Cops & US Flag

Doctor Raoul

If you read Hillary’s delegates spit on and taunt Police Honor Guard at her Convention, you’ll see that both the police and the flag were treated terribly by Hillary’s followers.

Below are some quotes from that article.

Members of the Albany Police Department Honor Guard were harassed and spit on by a few people as they carried flags into Tuesday’s Democratic state convention at Pepsi Arena, officials said.
The five-member honor guard, which is made up of Albany police officers, told authorities that some people in the crowd of 11,500 Democratic supporters called them “Nazis” and “members of (New York City Mayor Rudolph) Giuliani’s ‘Third Reich.’ ”

The harassment took place as the officers entered the arena around 5:45 p.m. in front of the Albany Police Department Pipes & Bags band.

The honor guard were in full-dress uniform and carrying the American flag, said Detective Thomas McGraw, president of the Albany Police Officers Union.

“We are very upset,” McGraw said. “The honor guard were asked to act as ambassadors to the city of Albany. They were invited guests and they were volunteering their time.”

The incidents allegedly took place on the floor of the arena, where only delegates carrying passes were allowed access, officials said.

To show those officers that they personally are appreciated and that the American people respect the flag and those who protect us, please send $1 to:
Officer Welfare Fund
Albany Police Officers Union
PO Box 6567
Albany, New York 12206

The Albany Police Officers Union has a fund for the families of the officers injured or killed in the line of duty. As recently as last November, they had two officers shot in the line of duty.

A short note that your $1 is a token of support for the honor guard would be appropriate.

To those who would be tempted to send more than $1, please stick to that figure. If and when we hear of a total, then we’ll have an accurate number of how many people agree on this issue enough to speak out.
