  1. No doubt memorials are nice.

    However, I wish people knew what the symbolism of obelisks mean.

    Obelisk’s symbolize Satans penis. I wish I was wrong.

    1. Oh geee, aren’t u an idiot?
      Scholars believe that obelisks represented eternity and immortality, and their long, tapering form functioned to connect the heavens and the earth. Their pinnacles were typically covered in gold to reflect the sunlight.

      Nothing in first resukt pages indicates you are anywhere near correct-again, an idiot.

      1. “Scholars” Okay you clown. A quick google search and you are satisfied with their lame definition to appease useful idiots like yourself. How dumb are you?!

        Literally honoring the fallen with occult symbolism as if their deaths were a sacrifice to Satan.

        You families/friends that have lost loved ones should question what you are learning here and research what I have presented. I certainly wouldn’t want my Jesus loving/trusting brother in Christ honored with satanic symbolism that they hide in plain sight. In fact, God commands us to destroy such temples.

        Where do people like me come up with this? The BIBLE! (Click blue link with my name to find more verses discussing this.)

        Leviticus 26:1
        You shall not make for yourselves idols, nor shall you set up for yourselves an image or a sacred pillar, nor shall you place a figured stone in your land to bow down to it; for I am the Lord your God.

        Deuteronomy 16:22
        You shall not set up for yourself a sacred pillar which the Lord your God hates.

        Hosea 10:2
        Their heart is faithless;
        Now they must bear their guilt.
        The Lord will break down their altars
        And destroy their sacred pillars.

        Exodus 23:24
        You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their deeds; but you shall utterly overthrow them and break their sacred pillars in pieces.

        2 Kings 3:2
        He did evil in the sight of the Lord, though not like his father and his mother; for he put away the sacred pillar of Baal which his father had made.

        Woe to you, deceiver(s) and you know who you are. God is the same today, tomorrow and forever. You have been reminded here and that occult garbage needs to be destroyed.

        Families/friends, demand the freemasons within our government to plant an oak tree in a park with a bronze placard in their remembrance and take satan’s little black dick, down.

    2. Where do people come up with this crap?

      For Egyptians, the obelisk was a reverential monument, commemorating the dead, representing their kings, and honoring their gods.

      Egyptians were around before Christianity.

  2. What date was this monument established for the officers? Is there a different monument that has the other officers who died in the line of duty on it? I noticed only 4 officers on the one in the picture.

  3. This is a tremendous opportunity each year for the people of Kenosha to show support for and break bread with law enforcement. Our community should be proud that this is done here.

  4. Excellent photography Kevin.
    Thank you for your efforts to cover Kenosha with an even hand.

    Thank you to those that serve the community.
    This includes the fallen officer’s and their loved one’s that will forever live with heavy hearts.

    ☆Widows and Orphans Fund☆

    Law and order is being handcuffed today.

    Thank you to the honorable men, women, canines and equines of law enforcement.
    They choose to show up wearing their badges. Badges that all too often make them targets of undeserved verbal and physical assaults.

    *Anyone downloading these excellent photographs taken by Kevin Mathewson, should be nice enough to credit the photographer.

    Mathewson was classy enough to offer up the free use of his pictures without the need to credit his work.

    For future generation’s, it’d be nice for people to know who the photographer was.

  5. It seems KPD is getting away from uniform hats. I’m ok with that. But saluting without a hat? Also, the officers I saw with their hands over their heart is nice, I assume it was for the anthem….why didn’t they salute?
