It's sad that a childish move on some really good police officers was countered by a mayor who over reacted before gathering All the facts in the case! Then made it worse by only consulting one group (race) of people as to what something means. Then failed to do any type of basic investigation. What I'm saying is any 10 year old understands what happened, but the mayor does not. Or even worse, maybe he doesn't care to see the truth!!

One of the officers is my daughters father! He is far from racist! People need to stop taking the humor out of everything!

This is far from racist, and only a sign that represents a GAME. Mayor, you only wanting to make a name for yourself sir.

I feel that it is extremely unprofessional that the officers involved were not even spoken to about it. It just seems so petty.

You should have talked to the officers . How do you know what their hand meaning meant. Sad day for law enforcement.

This is one of the most ignorant things, I have ever witnessed our mayor do.

These officers put their lives on the line each and every day!! It is absolutely ridiculous that they would be suspended over something so simple as a kids game!! Just because someone is "offended" doesn't mean they are right! Put these heroes back to work!!

This is a bad “knee jerk” reaction to handling the situation.

Was not racist gesture. Do you think cancer patents who had chemo are skinheads too. Blue life matter.

To the ones who actually think it's racist need to find something else to complain about, put the officers back to work, they have families!!

Should not have been suspended. Reprimanded, maybe but not suspended.

Really this is a fireable offense? Way to make the city safer from hand gestures.

To suspend an officer over a simple kids hand gesture is not only ridiculous, it's insane! These men and women put their lives on the line daily for us and they get very little thanks and very little pay. I am 67 years old and we used the "aced it" when I was in school. You seriously need to rethink your decision on suspending these brave men. You owe them an appology!
