I've had enough. I am extremely tolerant of autistic men, being in mathematics, but every time I get an email that you've commented, I cringe because I know that it's going to be something with the major point missed and hostile towards other commenters. .

Thank God we have had strong men (and women) will to put their lives on the line so that we in America have been able to live in peace. It is sad how this is starting to erode here.

I enjoyed the Narnia books - until I clocked the cult messaging and the anti-female; anti-child; line. Objective? Sorry chuck there is nothing onjective about Roman Catholicism or Roman Catholics; a criminal cult of child molesters. I narrowly escaped one. Skews heavily female in following and is thoroughly anti-woman. It is just an earlier instantation of the folderol of the moment and just as toxic. The Narnia books an earlier instantiation of the indoctrination going on in schools today. Fiddling with kids' minds is just as much child abuse as fiddling with their bodies. C.S. Lewis was filth.

Sorry if I misunderstood, but you do know CS Lewis wasn’t a Catholic, right?

He's banned. I've been cringing and reading his hostile, point-missing comments for a long time because, being a mathematician, I can spot an autistic male 1000 miles away. But I've had enough.

Some of these I do really have to wonder about how they came to be adopted, not just by some Police Forces but by all of them. I also wonder if, due to police forces being more local than military if the flag folding and offering ceremony might be less intrusive if instead of an American Flag it was instead a state or city flag as befitting the Police being a local force and not something that serves the nation as a whole. But I'm sure its too late for that kind of change without existing law enforcement and families of those who died in the line of duty being angry if things were changed.

Thanks for your comment: I think you are certainly correct in the choice of flag. I have thought that it would seem more meaningful to use their state flag, or flag designating their precinct. Even a barrowed tradition which has been in effect for a certain time is difficult to change - it would be interpreted as literally changing a "tradition."
