That's what these two articles should read. Instead of reporting that small and oppressed religions are being allowed to have their sacred days off, these reporters are sensationalizing the story, making up what they believe these brave police officers are doing on those holidays.

To this brilliant statement I could only think of calling him a name to which I won't lower myself to his level, a hole that is always dark and stinky.
