For all your posturing about straight talk and accountability you displayed neither of those two qualities. Kyle was probably a great SEAL and comrade, that doesn't excuse the fact that he lied numerous times to aggrandize himself at the expense of others. That certainly doesn't seem to be in line with the values you and the SEALs seem to espouse...

It has come to light that one of the police officers killed in Dallas had neo-Nazi/white supremacist tattoos and affiliations. How is that a member of a police force, surrounded by people supposedly trained to spot criminals could work next to someone with these kind of beliefs? The LEO in Philadelphia with a Nazi tattoo is another example. How much of a problem is white supremacist infiltration of law enforcement?

Uh, it's called journalism bro. If given the choice between a major story involving possible corruption by POTUS's business organization vs. a story about squirrels that can waterski, why would any journalist choose the later? Sad!

While I understand free speech protections are there not restrictions on professional appearance? I mean, starbucks wouldn't allow a barista to have a nazi symbol on their arm, are the police forces of the country less professional than starbucks? In both the case of the dallas officer and the philadelphia officer the tattoos were in plain sight and not covered, so I am not sure how that fits with your answer.

How about you personally? How do you feel about police officers with nazi sympathies? I guess this hits close to home for me as both of my grandfathers served in Europe during WW2. When he was alive I asked my grandfather who served in a tank crew under Patton about the war he said, "I killed a lot of Nazis over there. I don't feel bad for them, they are the lowest form of human life and killed some of my good friends."
