Do you think police officers' image will be tarnished if they keep voting Republican

[NYCButterfinger]

or aligning with far right sheriffs, PBAs, etc.?

Police should be neutral and should not in politics, but in my area, the NYPD and suburban police departments are aligning themselves with the NYGOP and NJGOP.

I'm sure the same thing is happening in your area

1. If killing unarmed women in their beds

hasn’t tarnished them nothing will. Bootlickers gonna lick boots.

5. You still need a police force, but most police officers are hardcore Republican

Most of the police officers in my town are supporting Trump and Republicans, even in blue-state NJ

The NJ PBA endorsed Trump

2. I think that IS their "image"...

[RockRaven]

3. What do you mean "will be"?!?!?!?!? Police image currently exists as right wing authoritarian

white nationalists murderers.

And that image is not a mirage.

4. One side has protestors and some leaders who want to abolish and or defund them.

It might be human nature to for some police officers to be driven to vote for the other side. Though I suspect that there are Democrats among them.

6. yeah

they were regular reasonable people until those protestors came along...I mean they barely killed any black people at all.

[NYCButterfinger]

7. Black and Latino cops probably vote Democratic, some of them

I wonder how they feel

Most of their white colleagues are hardcore Trumpers now

8. Their mind set hasn't changed. They are still the same arrogant cops that I seen as

kid in my neighborhood growing up. One thing though is that when I was growing up, in the wrong part of town, you were more likely ten to one, to get beat up than to get shot. Most of the cops are still arrogant. I've seen them all in my 82 years,
