How's screwed up one's mind has to be to take money from the police and after the crime rate shot up, still insist it makes sense?
The Democrats unfortunately have a bad habit of treating certain segments of their electorate like s(*)(*)t, and just taking their support for granted. Manufacturing workers in the Rust Belt being one example. The NY Police really had to be alienated to officially cast their support to Trump. A lot of the police in big cities are Democrat-leaning, but over the last year have been treated like Vietnam Veterans returning from the war. (if anyone gets that analogy) Some of this endorsement to Trump is probably sort of a protest against how they've been treated, talked about by politicians, and viewed in the media.
Awesome. Interesting though that republicans have been pushing for the dissolution of unions of government employees for years.
Is not directed against any particular branch or service, whereas the police are being defunded 'cos Liberals think they can deal with crime better than police, and on the cheap.
And Democrats have been avoiding the conversation about non-government employee unions being completely decimated over the past 30 years, and the reasons that occurred.
Whose is surprised over this, they don't want to be held accountable when they break the law so who else would they endorse.
Sounds very "Republican"... (Yet, I know very well from other posts in this forum you're not a Republican)
yes and so did FDR and dems until they realized they could use them for donations. With that said, the dems have paired up with union bosses and turned their backs on workers.
What you've just said is that the police as an institution is bad, hence the Democrats been busy reforming and defunding the police, even as the crime rate shot up and police can no lo longer do their jobs effectively. Is that what you're hoping for, and applauding to?
Hmmm, how did I get to be a rogue Comey supporter? Oh that's right anyone who isn't up Trump's hind parts is a supporter of anyone who isn't.
Big cities? You're welcome to them. Here in my little dink city (pop. 23,000) people of all races get along, unlike big cities where if you cross an invisible line you're dead. Drugs? We got them, but we don't have people shooting up in the streets and wallowing in their excrement. Crime? Got that too, mostly property theft, stranger on stranger violence is so rare it's statistically nonexistent. What little violent crime there is either domestic related or a personal score being settled. The one firearm death we had this year was a guy mishandling a weapon and killed his sister, more tragedy than murder. Is it paradise? Hardly, but I wouldn't trade my little ratty house for the finest mansion in any metropolis you care to name.
Actually what I said that there are some corrupt cops within the institution that are not held accountable for their corruption and they want to keep it that way. Doing their job shouldn't include breaking the law.
because you support Comey’s rogue behavior...fyi it was Sally Yates that called his acts rogue moreover you support Harris who as AG of Cali protected corrupt cops
I just like the fact the wasn't like most republicans and was just falling at the feet of Trump. Right, but you support the man who told police to slam the heads of folks who are arrested up against the car. The man who took out a full page ad calling for the Death Penalty against 5 young men who were innocent and he refuses to admit he was wrong. Talk about a hypocrite.
you support rogue cops you support a corrupt DA that hide evidence and prosecuted those men. i certainly support a private citizen exercising his first amendment right in support of something...i don’t support the death penalty but apparently the people of NYagreed with trump. i also don’t support corrupt rogue cops or DAs that hide evidence...you do apparently
Good to see you coming around and not blaming the police institution as a whole. Most other Democrats do.
You go to far with the comedy. Really, how do I support her? I don't live in New York. So you support a private citizen lying and then when he becomes POTUS he is not man enough to admit that he was wrong, that is what you support? Where are you coming up with this BS, it's the old Trump flim flam play.
If you have corrupt cops operating within an institution and the good cops support them or turn a blind eye to their actions, what does that say about that institution?
Kinda like the Pharaoh telling the Jews to make even more bricks for the Pharaoh while he withholds the straw necessary to make the bricks.
What percentage of bad cops do you think there is in NYC, and how many bad cops do you think it took to punish the police by taking a billion dollars out of their budget? Just a riddle
