I have enjoyed Graham’s humor in the past. Today, 1-8-2019, I was very disappointed with his jokes. I’m not a policeman but I respect them. This was a poor use of space. The humor was inflammatory. I expected humor based on past posts. I wish Grahm would offer an apology for this post. The majority of police are out to “serve and protect” not what this humor implies. Name a profession you won’t find some bad apples. These officers put their lives on the line to help us a respect is due to them.

That's why they call them jokes. Have you ever seen a celebrity roast? Are cops off limits?

Humor.

A roast is about a single person. The person is also part of the gag. Disrespect of this type is tarnishing a defenseless group that is undeserving of such. The donut jokes, ok old but not necessarily derogatory. Many of the others were just in poor taste. Why not make jokes about all cancer victims or poor people. How about making these same type jokes about all black people. How well would that be received. Making light of serious issues that no group can defend against is prejudice not humor.

I know someone who has cancer and jokes about it.
Helps him keep his sanity.
Makes others more comfortable.

That’s again great for that individual. Lump them as a group and start making derogatory jokes about them at their expense and see how they feel about it. The “jokes” that were made weren’t all bad but enough of them were to take the humor out of the entire group. Some of them were incendiary putting the police as a group as being racist. There are probably some bad apples but as an organization I think they are responsible and treat the public as a whole with respect and professionalism.

It's....a...joke.

If you don't like it...move on to the next joke where someone else was offended but you weren't.

They are jokes--lighten up. I was a teacher, and I think teacher jokes are funny--sometimes hilarious. You could apply your same comments to them, or to any other profession. We don’t get our panties in a wad when folks make fun of us. You need to move on.
