The Democrats Do Not Support Police Meme

It seems the media, including PBS, is promoting the meme that the Democratic Convention has not been supportive of police. I was under the impression that a member of law enforcement has spoken each night of the convention. In addition, one of the PBS anchors brought up the idea of the Democratic Convention not showcasing law enforcement and their families at the same time a police officer was speaking in the background. So, am I right in my belief that a member of law enforcement has spoken each night of the convention?

honored, and mentioned.

Police who have been victims of violence, and people, especially African Americans who have been victims of violence at the hands of the police, have been mourned

That is the facts, and that the media chooses to distort it, will not hold water to the truth, and that will be brought in the following months
