I think the notion that nearly every cop is conservative is about 20 years past its sell by date……certainly that’s not true at all nationwide (maybe it is in Texas).
Well I’ll go by what I know from up north to down here and in between with all the cops I know or have talked to.
Infact down here there has not been a cop which is not conservative and I;ve met nearly all the sheriffs dept and police force.
I can certainly understand why liberals, socialists and communists , as well as liberaltarians don’t like cops, After all cops enforce the law and those kooks hate laws and think they should do what ever they want.
Waaay past its sell date. Most are strongly supportive of their unions which have and continue to hide and obfuscate the corruption that exists in every big city police department. The political correctness of the hiring practices also indicate the politics of the police are closer to teachers than any other group.
