Next month the Broward County Police Benevolent Association is holding a "Party to Leave the Party" -- an event coordinated with the Supervisor of Elections where police officers and the general public can switch their voter registrations from Republican to Democratic or Independent...So here are the details: On Saturday, July 16, from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. behind the PBA headquarters on SW 26th Terrace in Fort Lauderdale, the union will have elections officials standing by to register new voters or switch party registrations for anyone with a valid Florida ID.

A Republican is a Democrat whose been mugged.

A Democrat is a Republican whose just lost his gubbermint job.

So it's not really the police, it's the union.

That's like saying the problem isn't government workers, it's the SEIU.

Police officers might think they'd be happier being with other unions guys ... but there's a price. Elite liberals refer to cops as pigs... but then they'll get use to that, right?

Cops will grow to love the party that panders, lies, and often breaks the law (see: Chicago for " dem's criminal of the month)... Good luck guys, you'll need it.

This is the reason why we, as a nation should be reducing the numbers we have in law enforcement, while at the same time, providing citizens with true Second Amendment rights. The cops have devolved into a group of unionized thugs who get to carry weapons and indiscriminately use them on the populace at their whim. Remember, when seconds count, the cops are only minutes away (that is, if they are not at the doughnut shop). Law enforcement used to be a dignified, noble profession, but not any more.

Exactly so, brother.

Screw the cops. There aren’t enough of them to make a difference anyway. Know your enemy. The cops only care about their paycheck. Cops from years past cared about honor and integrity. Todays cops are union thugs.

My wife and I live in Broward County since 1983, so hush up!!!

BTW, you’re half right because we are Conservatives, and also Proofers, hmmm!!!

[stevio]

What happens when the police are corrupt?

[danamco]

Yes, I remember, and tried to get us voting for Scott’s opponents, LOL

“BTW, you’re half right because we are Conservatives, and also Proofers, hmmm!!!”

I’m so sorry, when I first read that I thought it said ‘Poofers’. :) I mean it is Broward County.

But seriously folks, there are some good conservatives down there. I doubt many work in the Sheriffs dept because of their history for supporting liberal causes.

I could tell you, but the Admin Mod would delete the comment.

Most LEOs are now just union drones. I have no respect for them any more.

A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers. And if there are those who cannot subscribe to these principles, then let them go their way. - A wise Man
