Every year here in DC there is something called Police Week. It happens at the same time that new names are enscribed on the National Law Enforcement Memorial to remember those who died during the past year in the line of duty. That service is very somber and mournful.

However, the rest of police week is one massive party in which countless out-of-town cops are hauled away for being drunk in public, drunk and disorderly conduct, public nudity, public lewdness, and worse.

It seems outlandishly barbaric and childish to me, and I think it is horribly innappropriate when the real purpose of that visit is to honor fallen heroes, but it happens every single year without fail.
