A friend texted me this morning: Do you realize how crazy it is that police groups are endorsing a man who refuses to condemn white supremacy? Then they wonder why there is a lack of trust for the police in the black community?

1. They all need to be investigated.

2. Crazy, but sadly not surprising.

3. sad fact is. many police are pure racist as we see from many of their actions

4. There are way too many white suprematists

in the police departments and their unions. Consider how weird it is that their union is endorsing a party that has done everything it can to kill unions.

5. The police who endorse Trump make is very clear that they can't do their

jobs fairly and without prejudice. Hell, I'm white and I'm leary of them.

6. Not surprising at all

White Supremacy and law enforcement are linked tightly. There are white supremacists embedded in almost every force in the country.

7. Few blocks from me lives a policeman

And his family. They smile at me as I walk my dog by. Yesterday I noticed the Trump sign go up.

Didn't surprise me. Trump and republicans seem to think being a democrat means you are weak.

We need education in our country on what real strength is.

8. Crossover

There is a lot of crossover between law enforcement and white supremacy. Law enforcement began as slave patrols, so I'm not surprised.

9. That's not crazy. The word you're looking for is "telling".

10. Definitely more than a few bad apples.

The orchard is diseased.

11. Maybe because they are part of this group

Constitutional Sheriff's and Peace Officers Association. Look it up. Some of our rural sheriffs are part of this group!

The guy running against Inslee could be a member. After the article I read in the Seattle times he sounds scary kinda Randy Weaver type.

From the Seattle times article get to know Culp

“On the dusty, unpaved road leading to Loren Culp’s house, a no trespassing sign calls out a warning to “all public officials or agents thereof.”

Quoting the U.S. Constitution, the sign declares any officer or person who attempts to enter the property without a warrant “will be treated as any other intruder would” when attempting to “extort, injure, oppress, threaten, harass, intimidate …”

In case that isn’t clear enough, visitors may consider the message in the road’s name, which Culp picked himself: Goa Way.

The prickly pun fits with the platform of the small-town police chief running as the Republican challenger to Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee. A proud conservative who rose to prominence for refusing to enforce a voter-passed gun-control initiative, Culp says government should be small and mostly butt out of people’s lives”

These are the crazy kind of cops or even every day people that you need to watch who say we don’t need big government but then want to be in charge
Or when there property burns say
Why didn’t you do something or come fix the roads telephone pools etc NOW

12. How about an appropriate lack of trust in the white community also.

Any truly sane white person shouldn't feel safe either with this attitude within the police. Either our police uphold all the laws or none of them. They can't, with any sense of justice, uphold just some of them and they can't, with any sense of decency, uphold the laws for just some of the people.

13. Sheriff in Portland, never have supported him, never will. I so appreciated hearing from our

sheriff. We have a white power problem with our police in Oregon.
