And these police unions are getting mighty annoying.

Steve Grammas, president of the Las Vegas Police Protective Association, wrote the letter to Goodell on Thursday and made it available to media. He said, in part, “While the NFL may condone Bennett’s disrespect for our American Flag, and everything it symbolizes, we hope the League will not ignore Bennett’s false accusations against our police officers.”

Why would a police union accuse an NFL player of “disrespecting our flag”? Are the police responsible for defining patriotism? And given the police unions fever about flag postures, I wonder what they think of the Confederate monuments, you know, monuments to people who actually fired on the U.S. flag and fought against it.
