I'm wondering what percent of law enforcement make up the 23%

[catmandu57]

Last night I was watching the Kansas City news and they were doing a story on a snatch and run at a umc department store in Lenexa Ks, when they were interviewing the police spokesman something caught my eye, so, I looked more closely and behind his head was a b/c bumper sticker.

Our neighbor is the local chief of police and was a big supporter of the puppet* and puppet master,
I'm wondering if it's a matter of funding maybe the more they support the junta the more homeland security dollars are thrown their way.

So, we have the rich, and corps, the braindead and law enforcement supporting these fools, of all of them I worry more about law enforcement, they can hurt you and lock you up quietly and not have a qualm at all about it.

1. A large enough percentage it should scare you! check 06 endorsements

2. Naw, that's bigoted crap

our local police supported a democrat against a 5-term republican mayor and the dem (youngest ever mayor, first female mayor) won after two recounts. Not all cops are repuke powertripping assholes. There are a lot of decent boys and girls in blue out there.

3. That's why I'm asking

I know of two maybe three if you want to include my brother who's a prison guard but I haven't spoken with since i talked myself blue in face trying to make him see what voting for this bastard would bring.
If people know of law enforcement that support the constitution and rule of law I want to know it, it was a shock to see the sticker so prominently displayed in this guys office.

10. I've hung out with the chief here before

he's conservative, but that's sort of understandable. He's in the business of enforcing laws. He went to university with Henry Lee. Has some cool stories.

PS my town was founded in 1787, so the first female mayor thing is a pretty big deal. The cops here, regardless of what some might say, are a good bunch of people.

4. Cheney the guy who likes copkiller bullets?

Lotta buyers remorse I should think.

6. Not this guy

there wasn't a sign of remorse in him. I used to live in Lenexa when I was a boy, since then it's became a solid upper middle class enclave, so it's not shocking that there are w* supporters there, it was a slap in the face seeing that sticker.

5. It's ignorance. They don't even know that chimp and his ilk

want to privatize their jobs, outsource them, and eliminate all benefits. No more retirement after twenty years (or ever), no more vacation, no more medical. The repugs would do all of that and more if they could get away with it and not blink an eye.

7. LESO is its name

Any police agency that receives so much as a particle of federal aid is no longer a local police force. It is, in principle, a federal army of occupation.

8. Cops are just like anybody else.

There's good ones, bad ones, stupid ones, bright ones, ones who care about the job, ones who are just in it for a paycheck, etcetera.

9. If local law enforcement does overwhelmingly support BushCo.

They are just ignorant to what BushCo. really stands for, and while there may be a few bad apples (always is) most conduct themselves with integrity and values BushCo. will never fathom.

All law enforcement personnel that I have met in Johnson County, Kansas have been very nice people, who would never cross the lines like BushCo.
