A lot longer than a day.  Law enforcement is under siege in this country.  Those "radicals" (I call them "terrorists") who go on social media to advocate killing police officers are making things worse.  All of them should be arrested and jailed.

I was referring to the other story about the 3 cops in Kansas City.  But, you're right, it has gone on too long.  http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,324614.0.html
