    WhoooooooaaaaaaH!!!!! This is unbelievable. Clinton, most likely trying to avoid upsetting blacks, is refusing to endorse the very people who keep you, me and her safe. This is mind boggling. These are the police, and, just as important to the left, they're union members. I just can't believe she did this. I'm stunned. I don't know what to say.

    By seeking endorcement from "the pigs" (police), Hillary will alienate BLM and their supporters, the criminals, the illegals, the vagabonds, the rubble, the human derbies that otherwise will vote for her.

    Makes sense.

    I'm sure Police Unions will find a lot of support from the Republicans and their budget cuts.

    Trump is the law and order candidate. Hillary is the disorder candidate.

    Anarchists love her ... the ones that destroy police cars, break store windows, set fires, and mace children.

    Isn't the left lovely?

    Trump has already said only he can solve the crime problem. He won't need the cops.

    It was well known (although not well publicized) how disrespectfully Hillary treated the staff & the secret service agents assigned to her during Billy's two terms in the WH. Heck, even during her campaign she "roped off" the media like pets & snubbed them for months by not holding an unscripted presser.
    Here's the deal; 1) the obvious take = her snubbing the police at a time when they're being assaulted by BLM & many in media displays her complete disrespect for them & 2) the not so obvious = by not asking for their endorsement she's hoping, once elected, to ague for greater federal oversight of all law enforcement just like Obama has been alluding to for months.

    My guess is that the BLM leaders told the Hillary staff that it would be politically incorrect for her to seek endorsement from the police union.

    Clinton doesn't respect law and order. She's above the law, why would see seek the endorsement from a group she has zero respect for.

    Asinine statement. Why would black folks be upset if she gets the endorsement of the police union? There are black police officers you know and contrary to the asinine statements that are made black folks are not anti-police.

    Only half of the BLM....the chick that co founded the BLM can't stand the Clintons.


    Black Lives Matter Leader Slams the Clintons: They Just Use Us For Votes, Photo Ops.....

    In an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, Alicia Garza, co-founder of Black Lives Matter, didn’t mince words when it came to describing what she thinks about the Clintons.

    “After Bill Clinton told black protesters, “You are defending the people who kill the lives you say matter,” you wrote, “My back is tired of being the path to the White House,” Bloomberg’s Josh Eidelson told Garza during the interview.

    “I was angry about that for about a month—seriously, like every single day. It’s reprehensible for him to defend the impacts his policies have had on our communities,” she responded. “The Clintons use black people for votes, but then don’t do anything for black communities after they’re elected. They use us for photo ops.”

    “We’re going to (*)continue to push,” she said. “We’re not indebted to or endeared to the Democratic Party.”.....snip~

    Of course, the leftness around here was kind of busy with all their Trump threads. So they aren't in on the knowing.

    .Actually, the Clintons have managed to alienate the BLM without the help of the police.

    I don't mind law enforcement knowing the Democrats and Hillary are out to make them scapegoats.

    The Repubs will gladly accept their voters.....voting against Hillary. This is good news for Trump.....now that he has everyone thinking he will lose, and is just waiting to pull the Hillary out of the hat.

    Yeah and the chick is part Hispanic to.....Garza. Wonder how many Hispanics she can influence?

    the Police union should not be endorsing a candidate, they should treat everyone equal..... sounds like this republican union member wanted to attack her for asking and is upset he wont have the chance

    is Trump going to ask all Unions for their support, doesn't he like the working class?

    Nah.....other Unions and their workers spoke out about not voting for Hillary. Despite Union Leaders giving Hillary their endorsement.

    There are a lot of Teachers that wont vote Hillary. As they were Sanders Supporters. He pulled more Teachers and Educators than Hillary did.

    The Machinist and Culinary Unions were the first to go vocal over Hillary's Dishonesty.

    But it's OK for any one of hundreds of other unions to endorse any candidate that they choose?

    OK, I'm open minded, why do you think she didn't ask for their endorsement?

    I don't know. But the article says Obama tried to get it in both of his elections.

    So why do you think Clinton didn't?
