Police charity event on hold after chief withdraws because Republicans were invited: report
Fox News ^ | October 02 2019 | Brie Stimson

A charity event planned in honor of an officer killed in a 2018 mass shooting at a country music bar in in Southern California has been postponed indefinitely -- reportedly because a police chief didn't want Republicans invited.

The Blue Bowl, a charity flag football game, was intended to raise money for the family of fallen Ventura County Sgt. Ron Helus as well as other officers killed in the line of duty, FOX 11 of Los Angeles reported.

Helus died last Nov. 7, when a 28-year-old suspect allegedly attacked the Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks, killing a total of 13 people and wounding about a dozen others. The suspect died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities have said.

Ventura County is about 80% Conservative Republicans and 60% of the LAPD and LACSD live there, I used to. Both of these communist lovers will be out of a Job soon, the Sheriff will NOT be re-elected and I doubt the TO Chief will stay much longer after this bonehead statement.

Because dissing the GOP is so much nobler than honoring their fallen officer brother...

Considering he’s a hoplophobic wanker, on this, Piers Morgan gets it.

A pretty powerful statement from the founder of the organization demanding the resignation of Rep Jackie Irwin & the Thousand Oaks Police Chief.

And the VERY detailed press release...

I think the Sheriff made a decision based on bad information from Thousand Oaks, least the foundation seems to be giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Seems like it was sour grapes from Jackie Irwin that sparked everything.

I am the VP of a charity in southern California that deals with helping vets suffering from PTSD. Though I am a rock-ribbed, broken-glass, Republican (or, more accurately, conservative), I can tell you that we gladly welcome vets who have any political opinion, and we gladly and gratefully accept donations of money or goods from people of any political persuasion. All of their money is green, and if someone is doing the right thing, then nothing else matters.

This Chief is a Class A asshole, and a moron to boot.

I find a lot of old school liberals (think Hubert Humphrey, Henry Jackson types) who would agree with what Piers Morgan is saying.

Only somebody that stupid is made Chief of Police in cities that are under Communist control. It happens every time.

“It’s anazing somebody that stupid can breath without assistance.”

Assume you’re referring to the the chief. I think the idiots who cancelled it are “supidER”. WTF? It’s like the Nike shoes with the Betsy Ross flag. One America hater doesn’t like it, so the entire inventory is pulled.

The German Nazis would not allow the Jews to attend events either. My, how the Democrats are resembling Nazis in almost every way these days

Might get rough for the city if all the Trump voting cops had a blue flu.

Thank you for all you do for our vets, and indeed, there’s a time to play politics, and there’s a time to stand together with our heroes.

And a little note to remind myself to look up his political donations and see if the Thousand Oaks police chief made a contribution to Jackie Irwin’s campaign - think that’d be an interesting connection to explore.

He’s an idiot. Republicans are the only ones who support police.
