Wisconsin Law Enforcement Memorial Disrupted by BLM Protesters

From Wisconsin Right Now:
Black Lives Matter protesters disrupted the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony, flying a “f-ck 12” flag and shouting negative comments about police during a chaplain’s prayer in a despicable show of disrespect.

When the chaplain began reading a prayer, two protesters talked over her with a megaphone saying, “Let’s pray for the black lives that were lost as well. We’re shot daily” and “The police are not for you. They are here to harm you. These are not sacrifices.”

The annual ceremony – which was attended by Gov. Tony Evers – is held to honor law enforcement officers who gave their lives in the line of duty. Some family members of fallen heroes were present at this year’s ceremony; for example, the children of Milwaukee Police Officer Rosario Colluro, who was shot to death on patrol while disrupting a drug deal, helped present the wreath. His son of the same name is a deputy police chief in a suburban department. There are 285 names of heroes on the memorial.

Yet family members and others present had to endure taunts shouted by a BLM protester through a megaphone and rap music that played “f-ck the police, f-ck the police” throughout part of the ceremony. The news media didn’t tell readers and viewers about the BLM protesters. Instead, Channel 12’s story on the memorial ceremony was headlined, “Former MPD chief speaks at Wisconsin Law Enforcement Ceremony; won’t answer questions.”

Watch the video.

This is disgraceful. It's heartbreaking that family members of the fallen officers had to put up with the cruel behavior of the Black Lives Matter protesters. No decent person would do this.

How could they possibly think that disrupting this solemn ceremony in the manner they did would help their cause in any way?

These Black Lives Matter protesters are as stupid as they are heartless.

And shame on the media for failing to cover this story.
