Smiling and just loving their President Trump...I dont know how these cops were chosen, (Probably Vounteers) but they are completely bought into the Trump Show....Ill make one point.... First...I blame the Union Leaders for not informing their
members exactly what Trump stands for...besides his devisive and hateful rhetoric which in myopinion puts more cops at risk, he would love to destroy their unions and then Privatize every Police Dept in the U.S..
No need to tell you.how Privatization will devistate the cops and others who are connected to the unions, because most of you understand the crap show it will bring. Say good bye to your pensions, and all the gains Unions have fought for in the past decades..Overtime will be chopped, Salaries will be devistated, and there will be absolutely no one to step up and help you if you are arbitrarilly fired.
Meanwhile, the Cops at todays rally are shouting USA, USA, USA,...Makes me sick for obvious reasons..
But Ill tell you one thing Cops are not friends of anything Progressive..
Jesus Christ how do we change this situation...Yep I know.. More powerful Public Oversight, backed by every level of the Police Dept... Hiring more diverse applicants and demanding new and more stringent hiring practices..
I could go on.. but fuck it... Im really pissed off.
