There has long been a sentiment among death penalty opponents that
proof of an executed innocent would turn public opinion on the death
penalty. I’m pessimistic that’s going to happen. But it does raise the

executed innocent person would it take to make you change your mind?

Chatanooga TN Police Department supports blatant disemboweling of our National Anthem in front of live audience. There are over 5 different camera angles at this public event and top ranking police personnel in nearly every frame. If it garnered so much official support and media coverage planning and staffing for it was broad in the very least. If this nation’s local and state law enforcement cannot hire pirates who know grade-school-level patriotism as a minimum, then what kind of ‘policing’ is truly in place here in “the land of the sheep and home of the slave”? If you or I stood up in front of a bunch of police and media, altering the words to the Pledge of Allegiance, National Anthem etc. WE’D BE CHARGED WITH TREASON! This was a blasphemous attack on our beloved America’s most highly regarded song about itself which directly translates to every U.S. citizen. It creates the kind of shame that doesn’t wash off after a “self-inflicted national tragedy” or several generations of bon
