The truth and nothing but the truth.....suck it up.


Agroup of more than 60 active and retired law enforcement officials have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris’s bid for the presidency, calling the former prosecutor and her running-mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, “the only candidates we trust to keep our communities safe.”

The list of top law enforcement executives giving their imprimatur to the Harriz-Walz campaign include elected sheriffs in Durham and Henderson, North Carolina, as well as active sheriffs and chiefs of police in Alabama, California, Maine, Colorado, Michigan, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Indiana, New York, and Illinois.

It also includes retired sheriffs and top police officials, including Charles Ramsey, the former chief of police in Washington, DC who later served as the Philadelphia police commissioner, and former Dane County, Wisconsin sheriff David Mahoney. Also appearing on the list are Harry Dunn and Aqulino Gonell, the former US Capitol Police officer and sergeant who emerged as fierce critics of Donald Trump in the wake of the January 6 attack on the Capitol.

“We trust Vice President Harris and Governor Walz to support law enforcement’s work to keep communities safe because they have been doing it their entire careers. Throughout her career, Vice President Harris has worked side-by-side with law enforcement to protect the public and hold offenders accountable,” they said in a letter announcing their endorsement.

The law enforcement officials go on to detail Harris’s record as a courtroom prosecutor and later as an elected district attorney and attorney general. During that time, she prosecuted child sex assault cases and went up against transnational criminal gangs while racking up increased conviction rates and bringing in large monetary judgments from big banks that managed the Golden State’s massive pension fund.

They also cite Walz’s gubernatorial record of investment in law enforcement needs as evidence of their commitment to public safety matters, and compared it favorably with Harris’s work as Vice President under President Biden.

“Their investment in our departments and colleagues is working: they have presided over the largest drop in murders over a one-year period in American history. And, as the leader of the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, Vice President Harris has built on her career-long commitment to preventing gun violence. After helping to pass the most significant gun safety law in nearly 30 years, Vice President Harris has helped close the gun show loophole and prevent domestic abusers from buying guns—keeping more dangerous guns off our streets,” they said.

By contrast, the law enforcement experts said Trump, the first convicted felon to run for president as a major party nominee, “has shown he will undermine our departments and make our country more dangerous.”

“Trump has repeatedly shown he does not respect law enforcement or the rule of law. After his supporters injured police officers on January 6th, he promised to pardon them. When he was convicted of 34 felony counts, he attacked the system instead of taking responsibility. He has called for defunding federal law enforcement. He said he would terminate the Constitution, weaponize the Department of Justice, and rule as a ‘dictator.’ He creates disorder that puts law enforcement and all Americans at risk,” they added.

The long list of active and retired police and law enforcement officials adding their names to the roster of Harris-Walz supporters comes as Trump, who is facing sentencing for his conviction on 34 felony counts in his former home state of New York later this month, is set to announce that he has been endorsed by the nation’s largest police union.

Law enforcement unions have generally been supportive of the ex-president, despite his criminal record and endorsement of violence against police officers during and after the January 6 riot.

Dunn, who retired from the Capitol Police to mount an unsuccessful campaign for a House seat in Maryland, said on a call for reporters on Thursday that Trump, who is set to address Fraternal Order of Police members on Friday, will “lie” to the police union members about his allyship with law enforcement.

“He’s going to tell my fellow officers that he’s their ally, he’s their friend, and he’s the candidate, the candidate of law and order — well, after what I experienced on January 6, I can assure you that he is not,” Dunn said. “He only backs the blue who are loyal to him.”

The former Capitol Police officer added that the ex-president “doesn’t care that he put my life and the lives of my fellow Capitol police officers in danger on January 6.”

“He doesn’t care that it was because he encouraged a mob of violent insurrectionists to march on the Capitol that five officers died because of that day, and now he’s running to pardon those very same insurrectionists … he doesn’t care about Capitol Police or any law enforcement. He only cares about getting power for himself,” Dunn said.

Another signatory on the endorsement letter, Durham County, North Carolina sheriff Clarence Burkhead, told reporters that Trump has “proven time and time again he can’t be trusted to deliver on his promises to law enforcement officers like me and my colleagues,” citing the ex-president’s proposed $4 million cut to law enforcement funding.

“Not only does Trump want to slash law enforcement funding, but he also wants to strip agencies like mine of crucial federal assets by weaponizing the FBI and Justice Department to prosecute his political enemies,” he said. “Under Trump, the Feds would waste precious time and money on his personal grievances, instead of pouring valuable resources into communities like mine that rely on assistance from our federal partners.”

Burkhead also pointed out how the ex-president “killed the most aggressive bipartisan border deal in decades,” hampering law enforcement efforts to combat gangs and drug trafficking for no reason except political expediency.

“Trump has repeatedly demonstrated to the American people that he cares about one thing himself,” he said.

He added that Harris was the only candidate on the ballot “who has spent her entire career fighting for people and standing with local law enforcement like me.”

There are circa 900 000 police officers in he USA - they were treated like shit by Biden and can expect worse from Mugabe Harris.   But then there are police heads who are Democrat appointees that would want to retain their jobs.   

There are literally hundeds of police officers murdered in the USA by criminals and for the Democrats they died because they were guilty of arresting criminals - which are released the next day without bail and set free to continue with their crimes.   They would not even be charged with anything n terms of the criminal loving  Mugabe Harris.   

That is the sitation when rulng criminals ruin a country.   For the Demcorats the main criminals are police officers arresting criminals and in a recent case of a funeral of a murdeed police officer - neither Biden nor Harris attended the funeral and when the Democratic Governor of New York tried to gatecrash the church service - she was told by the family members she is not welcome and had to leave.  That is the attitude of 90% of the police officers in the USA - where Mugabe Harris  was in the forefront of defunding the police strategy of the ultra-leftists in the USA.   According to the latter self-defense against criminal attacks is a crime.      .            .

 In the USA under Biden and Mugabe Harris crminals are kings and should not be imprisoned.

Denise, no matter how hard you try, you'll never be Karem-allah.

We know she is brown, we know she talks absolute shyte most of the time, that her brain shuts down at the first signs of complexity, that she is pretending to be someone she is not, that she's a scumbag...

But that's where the similarities between you and her end.

"Boys" can't be girls, Denise.

Sep 09, 2024, 07:23

Sounds like the two of you have much in common only for one major difference.......she doesn't sport the tough guy act, steams off and throws her toys out of cot then covets the sympathy card for a return.

Now don't go bawling your eyes out over the above it is just a joke ....Bwhahahahaha

Sep 09, 2024, 09:54

When you looked in the mirror this morning, did you make your best Karem-Allah face?

Whaha loser!

Sep 09, 2024, 20:55

That is exactly she does not port the rough guy act.   In the usnstab le world we ae living n the USA needs a tough leader -  and the policy absent and without any principles at all - Mugabe Harris would be the worst Preiosent ever.

During Kisinger stint as Secretary of State he developed a policy that entails keeping China and the USSR becoming allies against the USA,    Obama was a shit Predident when it comes t stability in the world weakened the USA Defense Force - eg he withdxrew US troops from Iraq in 2012 and ISIS came into being and they threatened o take over the whole of Iraq.    When the ISIS threat became really serious Obamasent 200 mlitary advisors to Iraq and SIS wereadvancing because no advisor is to eb come involved in any figting against ISIS.   It was only when Trump took over he sent in troops bacxk nto Iran and they destroyed ISIS  in both Iraq and Syria.   The Democrats went into mourning when he had the ISIS "caliph" killed in Syria,   

Obama also said he draws a red line if the Syrian President use poison gas against civilians in the Syrian Civil War,    The Syrians ignored the threat of Obama and used poison gas subsequently and Obama did zzero when they did.

With the start of the Ukraine Civil War in 2014 Obama refused  to provide arms to Ukraine and the aid was limited to medical supplies and equipment and beds for the wounded in Hospitals.  Trump changed it to military aid to Ukraie and provided the Ukraine Government  $1 billion for the purpose.   To his horror he found that at least Pelosi and Schiff got kickbacks from the aid and in 2019 Trump refused to sent money to Ukraine and decided to purchase arms to that amount and sent it to the Ukraine.    It let to the 2 criminals involved to try and get Trump impeached based on lies and BS.

If Obama was a shit poor President iro foreign afairs is concerned   Biden and his Deoty was supershit.   The list of their BS centered also around corrupt activties of the Biden Crime family and he bribes paid by forwign companies to the Bisdens,   So guess where the corrupt activities came from - it was from companies in Ukraine, Iran and China as well as to other countries.    That made Biden and his VP  prisoner of the enemy regimes.   Under Biden's Presidency 2 major wars erupted and he did nohing bar driving previous US Allies into BRICS - mostly open enemies of the USA.   Just readup what happened in he l;ast election in Brazil,   The Democrats wanted to support the C ommunmist as President - so they sent $200 million and election equipment to enmsure the Communist wins the election.   They got him and China and Brazil became .close allies.    The list is virtually endless,    Their partners in the Netherlands, Italy, Slovakia, Sweden  Austria were voted out of power and the last 2 state elections indicaes that  Germany will become in the same  category when anew election is held.   

Bad news for the world if Mugabe Harris wins the election.   The day after inaugeraion of Harris - the Chinese and North Koreans will attack South Korea and China will occupy Taiwan.    What will the empty head do in that case - probably do a Biden and flee to Camp David and spend most of her time there in the toilet.
