Today, we lost America. We are pulling out of the biggest Back the Blue rally in America.
I’m disgusted. I’m embarrassed. My heart is broken for the America that we’ve lost.
This morning, I woke up at 3am. I proudly announced on Fox and Friends First that Law Enforcement Today was proudly joining a number of other groups in taking part in the largest Back the Blue event in America.
Acclaimed keynote speaker Paul Butler and I were going to be the joint Masters of
Ceremonies. We had rock and roll legend Ted Nugent flying in for the National Anthem – accompanied by Congressman Clay Higgins, the keynote speaker.
The first wave in the attack came from Facebook. After 6300 people RSVP’d to the event, the page was taken down by the social media giant.
It didn’t come as a surprise. I’m the same guy that just got a lifetime ban from LinkedIn last month for sharing an article about a guy who tried to kill two cops. We are sort of use to it.
But what happened today? Today it became evident just how legitimate the war on law enforcement is.
Congressman Clay Higgins and Ted Nugent are not allowed to attend the event… and that apparently comes directly from Governor Cuomo’s office.
Within hours of announcing that they’d be at the rally, Democrats throughout New York demanded the event be shut down. It was the typical liberal playbook – everyone that doesn’t tow the line is a racist, sexist, xenophobe, Islamaphobe, etc.
That didn’t work. Because the last we checked, it’s America. We have yet to see anyone shut down Al Sharpton from speaking at an event, or the self-proclaimed Marxists affiliated with Black Lives Matter.
So they tried a new approach.
The state police detail ensuring the security of Congressman Higgins and Ted Nugent were told they weren’t allowed to offer protection.
Their careers were threatened. Then their families were threatened.
So we came up with a new plan. We had dozens of Blue Knights who were going to provide safe passage.
And that’s when the governor apparently pulled the ultimate “trump” card.
He instructed the health department to ensure that upon landing in the state, Congressman Higgins and Ted Nugent would either be turned around and sent back… or forced into a mandatory 14 day quarantine.
“After being reminded of New York State’s quarantine orders and Nassau County’s protest protocols, Ted Nugent will no longer be attending tomorrow’s march in Eisenhower Park. Congressman Clay Higgins is also being advised of New York State’s quarantine Executive Order.”
If I'm not mistaken, our taxpayer dollars fund the Capitol Police who are assigned to protect our elected Congress critters where ever they are. So the threat of pulling state police protection shouldn't be a problem. As for the threat of quarantine -
How many passengers who actually traveled on the same plane that Nugent was planning to fly on were immediately accosted by NYS health department staff and told to either return to point of origin or quarantine for two weeks?
Also recall DC mayor took Orwell's Animal Farm to dictate policy for elected official exemptions from her unconstitutional edicts:

Figure it out: You can't back the Blue if the Blue don't back you.
That's a really good point. They've been towing the line too long.
I want to back the police, but I've really lost confidence in them.
Right, and it's annoying as hell. As an LEO you serve the people not the Pols.
Your Mayor and your Chief do not pay your salaries or command your allegiance. The people do. And if the authorities prevent you from doing your sworn duty then, dammit, resign.
I don't care how blue your uniform or how shiny your badge, if you are doing the bidding of a lawless radical then you are nothing more than the hired thug of a petty tyrant.
