Earlier in October, the union representing Philadelphia firefighters voted to endorse Donald Trump. This was no small undertaking, given the overwhelming support of most unions for Joe Biden. When some union members complained about the process, a second vote was conducted. Trump won that vote by a two-to-one margin, with a final tally of 1,444 votes to keep the endorsement in place to 782 votes to rescind the endorsement.
“It’s a huge win for Trump,” a source in the department told PJ Media. “Firefighters are overwhelmingly sacrificing future contract increases with a Democrat-run city to try and get Trump re-elected. It’s actually quite profound.” The vote and the revote further indicate how little support the radical Democrats and their police-defunding agenda get from first responders around the country

The Trump campaign has been backed by several local and national unions that represent first responders. Most notably, the Fraternal Order of Police and its estimated 335,000 members endorsed the president in September.
The National Association of Police Organizations which represents more than 241,000 sworn law enforcement officers also threw its support behind the president. Other backers include the International Union of Police Associations, the New York City Police Benevolent Association, and the Florida Police Benevolent Association.

Not race focused much are we ?
BLM is a means to break up unions or worker unity in corporations. The old feminist labor division where now the girls no longer work with the guys but sue to get them fired, what not.
These racial based groups are plants
I recently read that a poll has Trump getting 24 percent of the vote in Philadelphia. Remember, in 2012, Romney got ZERO votes in 59 districts in Philadelphia.
I hope none of the 782 Biden supporters show up at my house in the event of an actual emergency. I would prefer to survive a 911 call.
