When a group of protestors burned an American flag, the hearts of all the men and women who actually respected their country sank.
Countless men and women have fought and died for that flag, and while it is certainly these protestors right to do it, it's a slap in the face of those thousands of heroes.
But after the protesters moved on to a different location to spread their rhetoric, a group of Milwaukee Police Officers gathered together to pick up the broken pieces that were left behind by the angry mob.
Slowly, methodically, respectfully, these officers picked up the flag to fold it into the triangle in order to honor the flag itself, the country it represents, and the men and women who fought, sacrificed, and died in order to keep it raised high in the sky.
The men who were so heartbroken over the burned flag are the same people who would fight and die for those who would want to destroy. Though they might not agree with the protesters' speech, they'll fight to the death their right to say it.

When Milwaukee Police Officers Joel Rossman, Jedidiah Thompson, and Jutiki X came across a burned and tattered American flag, they knew what they had to do.
Honoring and respecting our nation's heroes is something that these Police try to do every day. Enforcing the law while upholding their morals and supporting their community and country is the biggest part of their job.
While none of them agree with this cowardly act, all three of these cops will defend the rights of those to do it.
These men will always uphold the law, even when it breaks their hearts into pieces.
