President Trump challenged Joe Biden in the first debate to name one police endorsement he’d received. Mr. Biden couldn’t—virtually all police organizations have endorsed Mr. Trump. Police groups are endorsing Republicans at every level, many for the first time and by overwhelming votes.
The nation’s largest police organization, with 355,000 members, is the Fraternal Order of Police. Patrick Yoes, the national group’s president, tells me every officer in the FOP has a vote. The process starts with officers voting at 2,100 local lodges, each of which votes at the state level. Then, at the national level, the states each cast a vote. This year the national vote was unanimous for Mr. Trump. Also endorsing Mr. Trump are the National Association of Police Organizations, with around 241,000 members, the International Union of Police Associations (100,000), and the Police Benevolent Association of New York City (24,000), the largest big-city police union—its first-ever presidential endorsement.
An exception is the National Association of Black Law Enforcement Officers, which has about 9,000 members out of the nation’s more than 100,000 black police officers. The group has objected to the Trump endorsements, though as a nonprofit it can’t issue endorsements itself.
In this year’s 35 U.S. Senate and 11 gubernatorial races, I’ve found only three Democrats receiving major police endorsements, including two whose GOP opponents won endorsements from other police groups.
How this happened is no mystery. “In 8 minutes 46 seconds, we all went from public servants to public enemies,” Mr. Yoes says, a reference to the George Floyd video. Democrats have sided with Black Lives Matter.

Protesters at Ithaca Police headquarters arrested
As usual, the headline doesn't begin to describe what happened
I think I see the problem.
Not just that. That shots fired report came in a few hours after a guy was shot to death in Ithaca.
Gun violence is up all over the state.
Meanwhile, LE is either staying fetal or is busy harassing business owners who run afoul of Il Duce’s WuFlu diktats.
Black Lives Matter (tm) is simpatico with the “progressives” of the dem party. Both are marxists.
Trump’s best line was describing black lives matter saying pigs in a blanket fry them like bacon

I donated nicely to a police org and made a big note that I support Trump.
