at the Target Center.

"Four off-duty Minneapolis police officers who were working security for Saturday's Lynx game elected to leave their posts at Target Center in response to the players' stance."

Are they against increased police accountability and professionalism?

to either characterize other people's second jobs as easy or to characterize what other people meant by a symbolic gesture.

I do, however, think the facts of the story should be reported accurately. They were off duty.

to hear them tell it

So unless you truly don't understand the difference in usages, let's not play games.

Nor do I understand the arrogance of taking offense at "Change starts with us. Justice and accountability."

(And having done two year's of security at minor ball leagues during college, yeah-- it's pretty much the easiest job in the universe)

that's a difference of opinion. It's allowed.

I try not to make judgements about how hard or easy someone else's job is.

I'm a teacher, and I was once told by a parent that I work half a day for half a year. On one of the many Sunday afternoons this year when I had to pass on the movies to stay home and grade, my grandson told me that I should become a principal. "All they ever do is walk around saying 'hello' and talk on the loud speaker."

It always looks easy if it's someone else's job.

No big deal, just a form of protest.

"TRIGGER WARNING"

That's up to the management of the Target Center.

Fire them from their police department jobs? Why?

Considering their other "job". I'm leaning more that these cops don't like African Americans.

I bet they are great cops on their regular job...

Until they get their feelings hurt by a shirt that...honors dead cops. Take a seat, gentlemen.

But let's not pretend it was about honoring dead cops. If it had been, the names of the murdered cops would have been right there alongside the name of the murdered African-American victims.

Hopefully the department never needs to send you out on any calls that involve anything more dangerous than a kitten stuck in a tree with how fearful you are.

They're a menace to society.

And they're a menace because they walked off the job at a basketball game?

You have a rather low threshold for menace, IMO.
