Colorado cops & sheriffs push back

Denver Cops Criticize Obama In Advance Of Denver Speech
CBS4 has learned that the Denver Police Department has been asking for officers — in uniform — to volunteer to stand behind Obama as he makes his speech Wednesday at the Denver Police Academy. . .
“Who better to stand behind you when you’re trying to ban guns than police officers. What an awesome prop,” said Rossi. He said DPD officers should not be used as a backdrop to make it appear the Denver Police Department and the City of Denver support stronger gun control measures.
“It’s agenda based and they shouldn’t be there,” said Rossi. “To me if you put Denver police officers behind the President, who is pushing this agenda, then what you are telling the citizens of the city is that the Denver Police Department is for this.”

Grasping for support in all the wrong ways...

They should just have Secret service agents behind him.. after all Colorado SB 13-013 would give the ANY secret service agent whether engaged in protective detail or not, limited Peace Officer status in the state. Meaning.. yep, they can arrest you on LOCAL crimes not just Federal ones..

Meanwhile, most of America is asleep at the wheel. By the time they wake up, they'll be in one of these.....

Gee, I wonder if those Denver cops standing behind the President will be allowed to have their sidearms. Anyone wanna bet?

This is where the rubber meets the road. Time for the boys in blue to make their stand as peace officers working for/with the people...or as tools in the coming disarmament of otherwise law-abiding Americans.

Which side are you on officers?

They'll do what they want, they have enough to go around. No different than violating Federal law (Hatch Act) by having Soldiers in uniform stand around during an agenda-driven speech. He's their CinC, but the law says even the APPEARANCE of impropriety is enough to cross the line.

Oh, wait. I forgot that POTUS and his Thugs - and apparently sufficient Colorado legislators - care about rule of law only in the sense that it's an obstacle.

Too late; the dead horse got up and walked away already.

Of course they'll be allowed to carry their sidearms. They'll be empty though...

Has everyone forgotten how the USMC presidential guards turned their backs on Clinton?

Just like the Marines marching in the inauguration parade in DC. No bolts in their rifles. If the cops have revolvers (no cylinder). If the cops carry Glocks or other semi-auto, no slide or barrel, just the pistol grip with no ammo magazine. Only Neutered military or cops anywhere near the POTUS.
