My father is a retired NYC cop, my best friends are cops, my cousin is a cop, and they all can`t stand this Kerry. I just heard that he got some endorsement from a police union. WHAT? What police union is this, French?

Well that's some good news at least. Sometimes I think the police in NY are the only ones with any sense of reality.

The endorsements typically speak for union leadership, which is almost always corrupt and in bed with the Democrats. I'll bet among rank-and-file cops Bush clobbers Kerry. Pay the endorsement no mind.

The union is well a union; what can you say. Feel sorry for those who wear the unifroms; do the real work; and the union big guys sitting in their offices decide; or maybe just the 'big guy' decides, who/what/where.

The endorsement was from the International Brotherhood of Police Officers (IBPO), whose statement was indistinguishable from the DNC talking points along with Sarah Brady and the VPC.

The rant went on about how all cops demand the strengthening of the assault weapons law because of "machine guns and AK-47s like terrorists use in Afghanistan", the elimination of good old "cop-killer bullets", and beamed that Kerry would "put 100,000 more cops on the street". Now where have we heard that crap before?

If this group claims to speak for all police officers, then I'm Terry McAuliffe.

I could not believe this endorsement of Kerry either!

They said they endorsed Kerry because President Bush didn't provide funding for additional policemen/women in the US after 9/11!

They union rep went on to boast that they had endorsed President Bush in 2000, but because of the President's history of disservice to Police Forces around the County they could no longer endorse W.

Then went on to say that what ever Candidate they have endorsed in the past has always won, so look for President Kerry on November 5.

Am I missing something or do law enforcement officers think Kerry is really their "guy".

Also, how do Union's endorse a candidate. Does the membership take a vote? Curious.
