Philadelphia’s police union is blasting Hillary Clinton for inviting relatives of victims of police shootings to speak at the Democratic National Convention next week, but failing to include relatives of slain police officers.
John McNesby, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5, said the union was “shocked and saddened” by the planned choice of speakers at the convention, which opens Monday in Philadelphia.
“The Fraternal Order of Police is insulted and will not soon forget that the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton are excluding the widows and other family members of police officers killed in the line of duty who were victims of explicit and not implied racism,” Mr. McNesby said in a statement.

I want her to get up there and list her accomplishments.
How about the Whites killed by Cops?
It’ll be a short convention!
A page from the 0bammit play book.
I wonder why she doesn’t invite families of cops killed by BLM?
Race-baiting. It's all they know.
How about the families of police killed by blacks?
Mega-jerk on steroids.
Wow! Talking about throwing gas on the fire. Crazy peeps.
The police are loyal to their own. They don’t need Hillary. She’s gonna lose their vote....from sea to sea.
They dont count.
There are now more unmarried mothers than married mothers and they vote 4 to 1 for hitlery.
They dont care about cops or the country.
Just the next gubment check.
How about surviving relatives of Waco? No invite for them? How about the aunt and uncle of Elian Gonzalez?
Considering the ‘guest’ speakers as well. We’ll hear about Hillary’s screeching how the Republicans this and the conservatives that, blah blah blah. And all the media types will swoon.
Irony, when juxtaposed with Trump’s Acceptance Speech...
I believe this one is going to backfire on them....
Probably Trayvon Martins mother and Michael Brown’s mother. Two thugs.
So if your family tragedy doesn’t fit into her thin narrative, Hillary does not have any time or need to meet you. White son killed by cops? Not interested.
Black daughter killed by Black gangs? Not interested.
White daughter killed by illegal aliens?
Definately NOT interested, and your emails are now blocked!
Why not the families of those killed at Benghazi? “At this point, what difference does it make!?” Somebody said that, can’t recall who.......
‘but failing to include relatives of slain police officers.’
Clinton and the convention planners know that if such a person appeared onstage at the DNC convention, the boos would be heard in the next county. Some delegates would probably throw things at the person, or even try to rush the stage. The optics would be ghastly.
