Inside Perspective
/Vote for US(A), not Party
By Patrick J Ciser
NEWS FLASH! We are losing the war! We are losing the war on public perceptions/opinions, of us. And who is driving this war against police officers in our country? People and politicians with an agenda, that’s who. Who wins when Democratic politicians and the liberal media spew lies, and then constantly reinforce those lies about our law enforcement community across the country? Certainly not the victims of crime, and certainly not us. If YOU are a Democrat, I challenge you to find any Republican politicians in the national spotlight today, that has pandered to certain groups of people, like BLM, ANTIFA, and others while spouting vitriol against our LEO community. I’ll save you the trouble, there are none. Who ran with the bullshit “hands up don’t shoot” lie, that was perpetuated on the American people? It was Democrats in Congress who continually raised their hands up, surrendering on the House and Senate floor. It was leftists in the media who did the same on CNN, MSNBC, and other liberal broadcasts.
Journalists, if there are any left, have either gotten lazy, don’t care, or have ulterior motives. They have no interest in doing a simple internet search to report the facts accurately on police shootings in America. A Harvard University study two years ago came out with a comprehensive review about white police officers killing black suspects in the line of duty, and totally debunked the liberal narrative. I invite you to check out national police advocates such as Heather MacDonald, Michelle Malkin and former Sheriff David Clarke, among others, on YouTube. You’ll then have command of the facts when confronting a misinformed, anti-police liberal.
We’re basically losing the war because most of our college campuses across the country are liberal, and they continually brainwash our children with their lies and propaganda. Yesterday’s “Hippies” with their anti-police bias became our college professors, unfortunately, with disastrous results. We don’t even have free speech on our campuses anymore as conservatives are banned, or booed off stage when they arrive. Many young people return from college believing in socialism while reading the works of, Karl Marx and Saul Alinsky. A study recently came out showing that 7 out of 10 millennials would vote for a socialist! Maybe they should vacation in Venezuela to further their education, and wake the f--- up!
Democrats today seem to have completely lost their minds, as some are calling for the dismantling of ICE, (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) which is doing outstanding work for all law-abiding people in these United States, regardless of party. Check out their stats on drugs, illegal guns and human trafficking arrests. (Check out last month’s issue of The Blue Magazine for the Tom Homan, former ICE director, interview.)
OK, time to get to the “meat and potatoes!” As LEOs, what have we always wanted to make our jobs more rewarding, less stressful, and more productive? Bosses who have our backs from the top down! Well, I’m not sure if everyone noticed, but our president, Donald J Trump, has been the most pro-police president I’ve ever witnessed in my lifetime! Period! If that isn’t leadership from the top, I don’t know what is. Have any of you seen his speech in Chicago on Oct. 26, at the IACP (International Association of Chiefs of Police) forum? He received thunderous applause several times throughout, and that’s with a mixed political crowd, not a Republican KAG (Keep America Great) rally. Those rallies host 50,000 people or so wherever he goes. Forget party! Vote for “US” in 2020! Who the hell cares if Trump bloviates from time to time! It’s actually what a lot of us like about him. He’s not a professional politician who has a focus group on every issue to see what he should say; it comes from his heart in an unscripted manner. He doesn’t see black or white, he’s like us, he see’s right and wrong. And he knows in his heart that it’s RIGHT to support the men and women in blue. He’s also very fair, as is evident in his efforts on criminal justice reform. Between jobs, Black Enterprise Zones, and Criminal Justice Reform, he’s done more for the black community in less than 3 years than President Obama did in 8. And don’t forget, when he sticks up for cops, he’s sticking up for ALL cops regardless of race or party affiliation. But if he’s going to help us, we all need to help him, help us.
We, the LEO’s across America are a big voting block and also have the ability to influence voters around us. Whether family, friends or anyone else who will listen, drive home the need to vote Republican across the board in 2020. WE ALL need to fight against the liberal agenda and Sanctuary cities. We need stricter gun laws and harsher sentences for people who use guns in the commission of a crime. We need to take back the House and retire many anti-cop Democrats who still spread hate and fallacies about what we do, and who we are. Do you know that Donald Trump wants the death penalty for cop killers? I’m on board with that! Do you know that he brought back the program of giving us military surplus equipment that Obama quashed, in order to keep us safe? He released $600 million in equipment since bringing back the program, and is spending $29 million on training for us to use it all effectively. I invite you to juxtapose his support for us to that of the Democrats running in the primaries. Bernie Sanders told a black audience recently, “Respect police officers during a motor vehicle stop, so you don’t get shot in the back of the head!” WTF? We arrest thousands of blacks across the country each year for possession of illegal firearms, and very few get shot by comparison. If the police wanted to kill African Americans don’t you think we’d start there? Mindboggling and absurd! And Joe Biden told a young black girl recently that cops don’t pull over white girls! Is this guy serious! We’ve been pulling over “lead footed” white females for years! Not to mention cell phone violators, DWI, and a whole host of other motor vehicle violations.
White cops have helped, and saved black lives by the thousands in our inner cities over the years. From Police Athletic Leagues across the country to pulling children from burning buildings to helping kids stay away from drugs and gangs, the numbers are staggering.
So do your homework, know your representatives, and where they stand on issues that are near and dear to our hearts. Vote for us, and vote for America.
