Yep. I’m a ‘law & order’ voter, so Kamala is my choice.
No way I could vote for a convicted felon found liable for sexual assault.

This seems like a step in the right direction for policing but this “dozens of us” org is unlikely to tip the needle.

What? They did not endorse the convicted felon and rapist?

Yeah, can we not do this sort of credulous, uncritical celebration. This is just a story of some law enforcement people forming a small group for Kamala. We’ll see how they grow and how they spend, but this is almost less than nothing as a story so far.

It’s not the fraternal order of police…those are the jackboot ones and is 100’s of times bigger than this one

“There are dozens of us!”

Should be a given that any law enforcement does not support a felon.

Anyone getting the feeling that the GOP backed the wrong horse, and for far too long, for so many wrong “reasons”? If the endorsements aren’t telling enough in the last month – can’t you just smell a landslide? The Republicans keep engaging scandal after scandal, fumble after fumble, outrage faux news, over and over again…November 5th can’t come soon enough. The Trump Trials will make the OJ spectacle pale in comparison…

The problem with *national* polling is the EC, the contest is decided in a handful of states unfortunately.

> The Police Leaders for Community Safety said Monday that it is endorsing Harris, in an announcement shared first with Fox News.
> The recently formed organization – which says it is led by a diverse group of prominent police professionals who have been at the helm of numerous major national law enforcement leadership groups – highlights that its mission is to champion “policies to make communities and the people in them safer, improve and evolve policing, and safeguard the rule of law.”
> The group’s backing gives Harris support from a major law enforcement group following the endorsement earlier this month of Trump by the National Fraternal Order of Police, the country’s largest police union.
> And earlier this year, Trump also landed the endorsement of another major law enforcement union – the International Union of Police Associations – as well as the National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO).
So, to sum it up, Trump has:
* National Fraternal Order of Police – The “oldest and most influential law enforcement lobby”, a fascist organization that exists solely for cops that take bribes or use excessive force to never get fired, and advance border wall hysteria.
* International Union of Police Associations – Another police union, but somehow more corrupt in that they *almost exclusively* do bribery and don’t even do their mission: receiving a *D−* rating from the Better Business Bureau
* National Association of Police Organizations – Has a better PR department than the above two, but also seem to want to give every tax break possible to cops and never hold bad cops accountable
And Harris has:
* Police Leaders for Community Safety- a group created in 2024 “that says it represents dozens of nationally recognized police officials”
Dozens of cops!

Note, that this title says “The National Law Enforcement Organization endorses Kamala Harris for president…”
Searching for it revealed there’s no such organization, or anything with that name.
The title of the article says “National law enforcement group endorses Kamala Harris for president”, which is in lowercase and is not the name of any specific organization. Only through the text of the article do we find that it’s the “Police Leaders for Community Safety” representing dozens of police leaders.

Besides that Harris is obviously the better candidate, I guess it’s also hard to endorse a convicted felon for a national law enforcement organization
