Letter to the editor – April 27, 2021

Dear editor,

Police have the toughest jobs around and no one, and I mean no one, judges themselves more harshly than a police officer. 

Every single day they wish they could have changed an outcome to call they had to go to. While everyone else gets to rage and rant about what happened, they are not allowed to. Even in the face of derision and hate from others, they can’t even express what their heart and mind goes through. 

To see people attack police officers such as that overpaid idiot LeBron [James] is purely unacceptable and should be censored. 

That “athlete” lives in million dollar houses and has body guards. While he is living the dream life, police officers go out to face God only knows what and their families, wives, kids, mother, father, husband, brother, uncle and friend walk out that door to a world of hate to protect those that hate them. 

LeBron’s salary should be theirs and he should have the officers’ pay. LeBron should be banned from play, not just because of what he said, but, because millions of fans that include children hear and see it. 

What are you teaching them LeBron? What are you teaching those kids that idolize you? YOU are teaching them HATE.

Alzina Kress,

Iola, Kan.
