political rhetoric.”-

political rhetoric.”- Brian R. “Police1 Network has gone awry, first bashing cops in the Tyreek Hill incident without a fair and adequate response based on factual data, now continuing with political rhetoric on one-sided issues. Time to find a new Police Information Site.”- Matthew G. In response to Matthew G., the following was written: “...the issue is that they’re allowing anyone to join the group instead of keeping it a community for LE. Those are the people posting nonsensical stuff in the group.”- Matt V. “I’m really not sure why police1 has decided to post this mess. As law enforcement we are to remain politically neutral. The job is to uphold the law and the constitution…”-D. Robert That sparked the following response from Kates: “The Police Benevolent Association of New York City has endorsed fascist Trump. That’s as political as it gets.” Kates did not express similar sentiments about the phony “police leaders” group of political hacks that recently announced support for Harris. Kates’ comment led to the following comeback from D. Robert: “...great, they have that right. I can see how upset you are that they have chosen someone other than your preferred candidate…” “Well, it’s [a] good thing we aren’t a democracy. Also, the democrats are working hard to push this nation into socialism by wiping out the middle class and reducing the populous [sic] to a two-class system.”-Jim H. Kates couldn’t help himself: “Jim, you’ve been brainwashed by Trump promises and lies.” Old Allen must be unfamiliar with the doozies dropped by Harris this campaign. Jim H. responded: “LOL. No sir. I’m an observer. My opinion is based on what I’ve observed and how the last four years have become financially difficult. If anyone is brainwashed, it would be you. Hell, you even believe we live in a democracy.” “Hopefully, Police One will get rid of the probable recent college graduate who they thought would be a good idea to run their LinkedIn account and publish this article.”- Mark H. “Police 1, you need to be better…this is shameful.”- Richard G. “Where this came from says it all. Police 1, why is this being posted under your name?”- Steve D. “I’m out!!”-Charles W. It’s important to note that while Kates does not hold a position with Police 1, his post was allowed to be published under their name. As a publication that caters to public safety, it’s crucial for Police 1 to uphold its professional standards and ensure that all content aligns with the values and expectations of its audience. While we realize that not every cop supports President Trump, it is clear that an overwhelming majority do, given his unwavering support for rank-and-file police officers. People like Kates attempt to obfuscate that support by taking Trump’s concerns about being targeted by the Department of Justice and their FBI hitmen and twisting that into claiming he doesn’t support law enforcement. That is simply not true. Kamala Harris has a documented history of taking the side of criminals over police officers. All one needs to do is look at the 2020 George Floyd riots, and when she told Jacob Blake, a scumbag who police officers shot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, after he was involved in a domestic disturbance and refused to drop a knife, she was “proud” of him. Kates may not like the fact that police officers overwhelmingly support Donald Trump, but cops know who has their backs…and it isn’t Kamala Harris.
