The annual Police Week, first dedicated by President John F. Kennedy in 1962, has passed without much fanfare.
That was a sharp break with past years when President Donald Trump turned the White House blue with lights at night, and President Barack Obama repeatedly spoke at the National Law Enforcement Memorial.
President Joe Biden, once a champion of police officers, who helped President Bill Clinton fund 100,000 new police, issued a statement decried as rude by many police online because it fed the liberal line that police are racist killers.
More than anything, police representatives during Police Week asked for a better understanding in Washington and the nation for what they do.
