Police wrong to track No Kings protesters
Your well-reported article on Florida police using high tech to identify protestors is disgusting (“Police agencies use Flock tech to track protesters,” April 29).
What has America come to?
Protesting is as American as baseball and hot dogs, yet it irritates the right wing because they can’t handle change in this great country.
Heck, now I wonder about just showing up at a No Kings rally.
Did anyone trail me home after going to the Bruce Springsteen “Land of Hope and Dreams” concert in Sunrise?
I am a loyal American who loves this country and the right to speak out.

Trump opponents must change rhetoric
In assessing the April 25 shooting event at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, two things are clear:
First, the chances of motivating someone to act against the president by calling him “Hitler” and “a threat to democracy” are quite high, and that has to stop.
Second, the failure to block all hotel access to the dinner is something that should have never happened.
What will not be discussed is why the Democrats oppose everything the president proposes, which is the root of the problem.
Quite simply, they hate him because he is a businessman and not a politician.
He acts first in the country’s interests and not the party’s, which accounts for the fact that he has accomplished more in his short time in office than all of the senators and members of Congress during their 30- to 40-year careers.
And worst of all, he refuses to play by their rules.
There is no other credible explanation.
