National Fraternal Order of Police endorse Trump

[100% pro-life no matter what]

I don't think there should be unions, but it clearly makes sense for the police to support Trump, given the crazy anti-cop rhetoric of the left.

Do they usually endorse a candidate?

Do they usually endorse a candidate?

They've endorsed both Dems and GOP in the past. In 2012 they didn't endorse anyone.

[Mr. Illini]

Scum endorses scum. What a shocker.

Not all police are scum.

You're right, but the police union generally is

That makes sense, while I suspect rural police would be overwhelmingly Republicans, I know that police in urban areas are usually Democrats.  I could see the FOP endorsing a Democrat over a libertarian-leaning Republican.

Always nice to get a reminder of how radical some of you all are.

Being upset that armed thugs are murdering innocent civilians is radical now?

That has always been radical when the armed thugs are members of a glorified and privileged group that defends the traditional order.

Per the tweet Clinton declined to even seek the endorsement?!? WTF?!?

Weed out the bad police, but criminals should not be doing whatever they want on the streets, wrecking havoc. Do you support that?

If you hate the police so bad, don't call help when you're in trouble. You're on your own.

No Democrat should seek or accept the endorsement of a police union. Disgusting thugs.

I'm not. I don't like criminal cops like Pantaleo. However, you should not be sympathizing with people like Michael Brown, etc. Some of them were not good people. They're too glorified. If you don't like the police, find some other tools for assistance if you are in trouble.

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

whenever the murder of a black kid occurs...

NOT ALL POLICE.

but now we know that they all stand behind Darren Wilson, Brian Rice, Alicia White, William Porter, Garrett Miller, Caeser Goodson, Stephen Rankin and many many others.

sickening.

The facts have very clearly come out about Darren Wilson (who was cleared of all charges not just by Missouri, but by the federal government) and Garrett Miller (who, along with Edward Nero, was not even present when the actions that led to Freddie Gray's death took place). So if you want to make your case that these are people the police should hang out to dry, you probably shouldn't include them alongside shady figures like the others.

Bronze is an evil racist, of course he supports murdering black people.

I believe that most police are honorable people.  I suspect it's a huge majority.

Given the events of recent months, it seems extremely unwise for a police organization to support someone whose campaign is largely based on bigotry.

Come on, man. How can you say something like that? I despise Pantaleo, the Staten Island cop that killed Garner. Not all police are bad, why is the Democratic Party so bordering on anti-cop mentality?

Millennial leftism is based heavily around absolutes, namely the idea that there is always an oppressor and an oppressed in every conflict, and that every member of the "oppressor class" bears partial guilt. The Dems are starting to realize that they have to win that crowd over or lose them to the Greens.

This year was the GOP's reckoning with their changing base. The Dems' is still to come.

True. It's always the "evil white man", "evil police", "evil military". If the Democrats don't watch out, few white men will be in their party. Same thing with the other leftist Greens, only the aging hippies.

You really think that the Democrats are afraid of the Greens? Come on. Don't get me wrong here; I wish the Greens were a legitimate challenge to the Democratic Party, but they aren't and won't be a legitimate political force in the foreseeable future.

If 15% of left-leaning millennials join the Greens, they will become a force no matter how much of a joke they currently are.

That being said, I see the Dems moving to the left and neutralizing that.

I know that, but you don't see high crime in white communities. Sharpton and the rest can't seem to get that through their heads. All races do crime.

Sympathizing with someone that's dead is bad thing? News to me. Cop shootings have gone down in recent years while unarmed deaths by police have gone up. I doubt you could explain facts like these. Most deaths come from other occupations but the right-wing loves to scream about how great ALL cops are and how their job is sooo dangerous
