The Mothers of those killed at the hands of police presented a solemn and profound statement yesterday.

Today families of police officers killed in the line of duty were making a solemn and profound statement

The only thing I will say is respect all families who are hurting

of silence short because she heard the ***holes yelling. I don't know or care who these people are but they should never have been allowed to be delegates. Ignorant. Counterproductive. Attention seekers with no class. Absolutely NO excuse to yell during moment of silence (or yell "you suck" during Carole King's song). This has nothing to do with forwarding a movement or protesting an injustice. It has to do with ignorant,immature selfish people.

are not democrats and never were. They are like so many voters whose only interest is "what's in it for me". We used to call them republicans. What do we call them now?
