Dear Sgt. Murphy: You're Wrong

This guy Murphy IS a hero.

...Murphy, the first officer on the scene, deterred what could have been a “much bigger massacre of Sikhs who were still trapped inside the gurdwara,” Gadh said....
“For them to take the time out to acknowledge my role in what happened is a very humbling experience,” said Murphy, who now speaks with a raspy reconstructed voice after one of the bullets traveled through his vocal chords and esophagus....

That doesn't mean he's correct when he pipes up about Trump.

..."You know, they have a word -- it’s sort of became old-fashioned -- it's called a 'nationalist.' And I say, really, we’re not supposed to use that word. You know what I am? I’m a nationalist, OK? I’m a nationalist. Nationalist. Nothing wrong. Use that word. Use that word," Trump said at a rally in Houston....

Goaded on by a reporter who undoubtedly had an objective in mind, Murphy opined.

....Retired Oak Creek police Sgt. Brian Murphy, who was the first officer at the scene of the Sikh temple shooting, said divisive rhetoric can empower those on the fringe and said the president labeling himself as a nationalist sends the wrong message.

"I do wish his words were chosen more carefully, knowing the impact they're going to have for everyone, everyone involved, more importantly, for the victims and their families" Murphy said....
Trump's first and principal interest in this world, Sgt Murphy, is the United States of America, which happens to be a "nation."   That stands in blessed contrast to some of the yokels and treasonous twits who had occupied the Oval Office before this.  It's likely that you were suckered by the presstitute who baited you.....but that doesn't make you right on this matter.

May you live a long and happy life in the nation of America!
