This is America. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community yes you are a donkey the latest on that police killing of a black man now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage and yesterday was a really bad day for him and this is what he did and so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. To the breakfast club, bitches. Alright, Charlene, please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day?

Donkey of the day for Monday, August 21st goes to two Dallas police officers who have been identified as James Smith and Juan Figueroa Luna as well as two on-duty police officers who have not been identified now two off-duty police were working security at serious pizza and they refused to let a disabled army veteran use the restroom I can't make this kind of stuff up let's go to WFAA8 ABC for the report please the dallas community police oversight board has launched an investigation into several officers they were caught on body cam video laughing at a disabled army veteran who accidentally urinated on himself donnell lane says he was refused access to the bathrooms at Serious Pizza in Deep Ellum.

Lane was injured in combat in his lower extremities and says he tried to get help from a couple off-duty uniformed officers by showing them his medical paperwork. He says they brushed him off. He presented his case to the board after internal affairs found no wrongdoing. And there's been a constant fight having to explain myself about my disability just to get assistance from public servants and private businesses while I'm out and about. This battle leaves me in constant depression and suicidal at

times because of the shame of asking strangers for help. Now, Dallas police officials tell us they will also conduct an administrative investigation. We've also reached out to serious pizza and are waiting to hear back. This is why when people scream about patriotism and being patriotic, I say bah humbug. OK, we live in a country with so many military veterans, the homeless don't have health insurance, standing on the corner with signs begging for change. And we folks will drive right by them. OK, we the people will drive right by them. Imagine fighting for a country but then can't even afford a meal in said country when you get back.

But we talking about being patriotic. Military veterans in this country should be treated like the salt of the earth. They shouldn't have to touch their pockets ever. They should get free top-notch health care, free room and board. And they should get some stipend every month to take care of their bills. And there should be veteran discounts on everything. Now, I know there's military discounts on a lot of things but in america there should be a military discount veteran discount on everything including utilities okay the disabled

this disabled veteran comes into a pizzeria shows you his medical paperwork and you deny him the opportunity to use the restroom he ends up doing number one and number two on himself and y'all laugh to me this is just symbolic symbolic of how America treats its veterans. OK, they just pee pee and doodoo all over their service. But then tell folks who take a knee or don't stand for the Pledge of Allegiance that they are being unpatriotic and they are disrespecting the men and women who sacrifice their life for this country, who serve this country. Really? Really? What's more disrespectful taking a knee because you're protesting the injustice that black and brown people faced by some police officers in this country are

some police officers denying a disabled army veteran entry to a restroom huh making this man use the bathroom on himself and then laughing at him let me tell you something man you're damned if you do you're damned if you don't we've been talking about this little 10 year old boy in mississippi who got arrested because he was peeing outside this is why people outside, because they aren't able to get to a restroom in that moment. And sometimes, for whatever reason, they go into restaurants and other establishments and get denied entry. What do you think that reason could possibly be? Huh?

Huh? What do you think? Huh? Color of the skin, maybe? Maybe. Possible. Huh? Look, if restrooms are for customers only, I understand.

But you're not going to sit here and tell me there aren't exceptions to every rule and if a disabled army veteran isn't an exception i don't know what is all right harry truman once said our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid they have earned our undying gratitude america will never forget their sacrifices harry it will trouble you okay to know that america has clearly forgot please give officers james smith juan figueroa luna and the two officers who haven't been identified the biggest hee-haw that's crazy yeah don't just show respect to veterans on veterans day people just okay just a side note quick question how many times have you been denied going to the bathroom like you know you go to a department store you go to the store and you'll be like hey i gotta use the

bathroom to be like no the bathroom is only for workers that happened that happens a lot um it's happened a few times especially the city about it yeah especially the city so like in a situation like that you try to do this right you try to go to the bathroom there's been many times to be like well the restroom's only for workers i've denied myself being that uh you know if i see the bathroom sometimes most of the time it'll say employees only and i'll be like oh i'm not an employee so i don't even bother to ask you know i've denied myself because in certain situations even even with kids and you i mean you have four i got six you know that there is no hold it sometimes. Sometimes when they got to go, they got to go.

Absolutely. Absolutely. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir. Yeah, say peace, PET. Peace, PET. Donkey of the Day is brought to you by the law office of Michael S. Laminsoff. Don't be a donkey.
