Police Union Support Of Trump Dangerous-This Includes Houston/Harris County

​








Above is Donald Trump recently accepting the endorsement of the Police Officers Association of Michigan.

Here is some of what the Michigan Officers say:

"As representatives of law enforcement in Michigan, we believe Donald Trump is the candidate best suited to lead our nation forward. His unwavering support for law enforcement, commitment to public safety, and dedication to upholding the values that define our country make him the clear choice for the 2024 Presidential Election. ..The Police Officers Association of Michigan proudly endorses Donald J. Trump for President of the United States."

Stomping police officers on January 6, saying you'll be a dictator and calling for "bloodbaths" are actions and values these Michigan officers hold dear.

Police and fire unions across the country back anti-democracy candidates. This is the case in Houston and Harris County as well.     

It's a mistake for the City of Houston to give so many resources and great political influence to public safety unions that enthusiastically back election deniers and officials calling for mass round-ups of migrants.

Authoritarianism will need a substantial local infrastructure. We should not be in a rush to fund that infrastructure.

We should instead make clear that there is no public safety without democracy. Public safety unions that support anti-democracy candidates and officials are public safety threats. Attacks on civil liberties and migrant round ups in communities across Houston and Harris County will require people willing to get those things done. We must realize this resources will come in part from our own tax dollars right here at home and demand our elected officials take the threat seriously.
