Good day all. Friday the union representing thousands of New York police officers, apparently for the first time in their history, has endorsed a candidate for the office of President of the United States, and it wasn’t Joe Biden, but Donald J. Trump.
This has both shocked and angered the Democratic CommuNazis currently running for election or reelection. They have tee’d off on the Union for daring to endorse someone who actually supports their membership. Here are the details from Fox News:
The New York Police Department (NYPD) union faced blowback from local Democrats after it endorsed President Trump’s reelection amid budget cuts and tensions between police and city lawmakers.
On Friday night, Trump spoke to members of the New York City Police Benevolent Association (PBA), an organization that represents 24,000 officers, at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J. Trump was formally endorsed by the group.
PBA President Pat Lynch said it was the first time he could recall the group ever endorsing a president.
“I have 36 years on this job, 21 as the president of this fine organization. I cannot remember when we’ve ever endorsed for Office of the President of the United States, until now. That’s how important this is,” Lynch said.
“Many times people say that a union like ours, law enforcement groups, give endorsements. Not in the New York City PBA, sir,” Lynch continued. “In the New York City PBA, Mr. President, you earn the endorsement and you’ve earned this endorsement. I’m proud to give it.”
“I’ve admired you my whole life, watched you do a job like nobody else, nobody else done it. Best of the best and I’m grateful happy you’re here,” the president said to the group of officers in attendance.
I will now state for the record that I oppose Public Sector Unions. However, today I will give the NYCPBA a pass. However, it doesn’t look like the Progressive Liberal Democratic CommuNazis are very happy with this endorsement.
New York Democrats said the police union’s endorsement of such a highly unpopular politician within the city was exacerbating tensions between them and the community.
“NYPD union endorsed Trump. I’m sure this is part of their neighborhood outreach plan,” tweeted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose district spans the Bronx and Queens.
“Also, does anyone else see a potential problem with police unions – enforcement arms of the state with lethal weapons – promoting “preferred” candidates for office or is that just me?” she added.
No, you dumb Marxist bimbo, it’s just you.
“I’m speechless. NYC is a beautifully diverse, working class, democratic city. The NYPD is clearly showing they are not interested in working with the people of our city,” tweeted Jamaal Bowman, a progressive newcomer who overthrew longtime Rep. Elliot Engel in a June primary.
“This explains their continued aggression against innocent people. It’s time for dramatic change,” he said.
Well, it looks like the Progressive Liberal Elite are deciding that the existence of certain unions is not a Good Thing and must be abolished. Since these moonbats also want to abolish the police, I guess it makes sense.
New York City cops have faced a campaign against them in the wake of police brutality protests following the death of George Floyd.
As New York politicians cut $1 billion from the police budget among other police reforms, crime has spiked throughout the city. In July 2020, there were 244 shootings in New York, a 177 percent increase from the 88 which occurred last July.
Meanwhile, Mayor Bill de Blasio and the city council recently barred officers from using chokeholds and other forms of restraint to detain suspects. At the same time, state lawmakers passed a law to publicly disclose the disciplinary records of police officers accused of misconduct.
Chokeholds are very problematical and if used incorrectly, can be lethal. As to the accusations of misconduct, you can’t always say “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” This is why police officer wearing bodycams is a good idea. We have already seen accusations of misconduct blown out of the water when the bodycam video is released showing that the accuser is lying through his or her teeth. (Why some officers are still opposed to this is interesting. Perhaps these are the ones that need to be shown the door?)
On July 31, Lynch met with the president at the White House to discuss the crime problem.
“In our city, we’re going through a difficult time. We have a progressive mayor that’s anti-police; the city council that’s anti-police; and the statehouse is anti-police. So they’re changing the law where it’s becoming impossible to do our job,” Lynch told the president, as reported by the New York Post.
“And remember what our job is: to keep folks safe. You do that by helping the good people, going after the bad people. They’re stopping us from doing that.”
There in lies the rub for the Progressive Liberal Democratic CommuNazis. They’ve hitched their wagon to the hard left anarchists thinking they can use them to to take absolute power. The problem is that most people are seeing what’s happening and are doing two things. One, buying guns and ammo and two, seriously considering voting Republican.
There is even a chance that New York is in play this year. Isn’t it amazing what happens when the progressives, after demanding that the police be defunded, get mugged? This may be why even that moron, Alexandria Occasional-Cortex might lose the general. The democrats can whine all they want about the Police Unions backing President Trump, but when you consider what they have been trying to do, is it any surprise?
