We Should Try to Get This Started; A Day of Support for ALL LEO's

[general mills]

I know of a ton of LEO that wouldn't step foot on Honey Island's range.

If you want to show support, show support. Money isn't an issue, it's morale. You see an officer while you're out and about, tell him/her that you appreciate what they do and that you are thankful they are here, that you support them. Nothing boosts morale like knowing the community backs them.

Yes. Send a thank you letter. Or if you have a police officer as a neighbor, mow their yard while they are at work. I just did, they got enough on their minds this week.

Ok I found a small piece of blue ribbon and got this started. I sent this idea to Donald Trump through every contact I could find except Twitter and Facebook which I do not do. If you do Twitter or Facebook please send along this idea to "Tie One On" to anyone you know and to anyone connected to the Trump campaign.

Sent my wife to the hardware store to get some blue survey tape to put on our doors and tailgate. I'll see if she'll send it to trump on social media. Some may complain about "politicizing" this but trump needs any advantage he can get and a movement to support Leo would be great!

See I think this is a good time to OC, and remind both the police and the rest of the world that there are a lot of well armed good individuals there ready to have their backs.
But a set of rules would need to be stricky adhered to. Rules like holstered handguns on well groomed well dressed people only.

Sorry but no way in hell. If this happens, the spotlight will be on it. Our house is on fire, and it needs water, not gasoline. Why bring controversy into this? This is not about 2A, police do not need to know that " well armed good individuals there ready to have their backs," I think most would rather people step back and let them do their jobs. This needs to be about thanking police and showing community solidarity, not stirring shinola.

Plus, I would think that any type of carry would be illegal on police property. I'm certainly not carrying a firearm to this.

*edit* Also, think how that would spin, the media would portray it as race war instigation. I feel this would go from 0 to stupid fest in 10 seconds flat.

Nice! That was a very kind gesture.

I agree 100%!

Alright, I've been trying to get through to the BRPD and believe me I know they have their hands full today but the phone either rings with no answer or I get a busy signal. Does anyone have a contact with them? If so please talk to them and send me a pm with a contact number so we can find out if this is doable.

I conceed. As you said its not about the 2nd A, but OCing doesnt have to be stirring shinola either. The thought that some of the good folks of BS could put a friendly responsible face to firearms, but having considered the possibility of it being seen in the wrong light or some clown making an a-hat of himself its better we just have their backs with kindness and groceries.

Maybe we can review a responsible 2nd A rally at more appropriate time and place.

Any cops on here have a recommendation on who we should contact? Any ideas on what we could do? I like the idea for an event (cookout would work), but it needs to be coordinated very, very well. There will likely be protestors and I think simply ignoring them is the best option. Arguing and bickering won't help.

I texted a good friend that's in law enforcement, I'll just post screen shots of his input. Please excuse my iPhone grammar.

Thank you. I'm not trying to say OC is all about stirring shinola, or that all oc is for asshats, or anything of the like. I just feel that this could be very sensitive, and while a majority of people could handle it, some butthole will show up with an AR and a rebel flag t-shirt and ruin everything.

Agreed. Its a shame we have to anticipate this, but I want nothing to do with crapping all over an opertunity to do something good.

Saw this... http://http://www.actionnews17.com/headlines/law-enforcement-prayer-service-tonight-at-cate-square-1642484
Prayer meeting for law enforcement in Hammond tonight

Brought the family out for this. I wish more people would have turned out.

There is a local Ride going on tomorrow starting at either All Star Lanes or the BRPD tomorrow @6pm.

2 or 4 wheels. Or just go show your support.

I would recommend being armed. Wouldn't surprise me if some BLM hero tries something.

 

[Bigchillin83]

If you see a police officer in line at a gas station or getting food in a restaurant, step up and pay for there meal or there chips and cold drink and tell them you appreciate everything they are doing and offer to say a little prayer of strength and level mindset in these troubling times!!!

I wanted to put a blue stripe on my truck but didn't like the idea of scraping baked on tape of my paint, so I thought blue survey marking tape would be a good idea tied around the tailgate.
