It isn’t a case of the Democrats now going off soul searching, it case of total revamp from top to bottom after Trump’s win last Tuesday. The Amazing Democrats’ advice very early on to the Clinton Campaign (and some of those comments were posted on our social media platforms as far back as the late summer of 2015) went unheard unlike when we worked for the Obama/Biden campaign in 2012. It is time DNC to fire all your overpaid pollsters (who got it so wrong), consultants and the like. The DNC should of known in their hearts of hearts that after Bernie Sanders won twenty-two states with so little money against Hillary Clinton, their candidate of choice would be in serious trouble if the Republicans got a candidate who could storm the mainstream and social media which Trump did and of course got a bit of luck along the way with that first letter released by the FBI Director that certainly damaged Hillary in early voting and gave a huge boast for Trump with his base. Yes, a lot of questions will be asked as to how the FBI were allowed to influence an election so openly. But this was far from the only reason Hillary lost even if the DNC die hards believe it to be so. The DNC and Democrats have lost their way and have been now for a long time. Their obsession only seems to be with fundraising not the core principles of what the party was founded on, Trump was able to tap into that huge hole in the DNC. It was a party that once cared for the low income, the homeless, our veterans, the poor people of America and not the massive billions of dollars in fundraising which was totally wasted trying to take Trump down. Just think today how many homeless people that billion of dollars plus would do to help house the homeless crisis in our major cities which should have been a top issue for Hillary.
Hillary campaign interviewed myself and members of The Amazing Democrats, for the record we call ourselves The Amazing Democrats as we not die hard Democrats, we wouldn’t have followed Hillary in to the fires of hell if she was wrong and we wouldn’t be silent either even if it meant we were fired from the campaign, that’s the way worked in the Obama/Biden 2012 reelection campaign and we were amazed how we survived not to be fired (nearly maybe once or twice when we really overstepped our mark and criticized some of the President’s polices publicly). The interviewing process went back as far as January 2016 to join her campaign. We were subjected to rounds and rounds of interviews, back ground checks, etc. Months would go by and we heard nothing and then it would start all over again. It was by late August this Editor got interviewed for the sixth time, more back ground checks and then was offered four important positions in four different swing states and one of this offers came directly from the DNC. All this was paid employment and not volunteer work. That last weekend in August for me was were I suffered so much turmoil as I had to give them a decision by the following Monday. It meant dropping everything in my life and getting on a plane to Pennsylvania. What was most troubling in my mind was I could sense there was panic setting in for the Democrats and Hillary’s campaign. I didn’t sleep that weekend. I went back to the old formula that the Obama campaign thought me and even though I didn’t have access to data like we did when worked for Obama, never the less, I ran the data all weekend long. It is a long and laborious process that you can see today that both the pollsters and media don’t do, why? Maybe they just are too lazy to do it, who knows? You have to run every state’s county’s data county by county, you have then figure in the data available from both the candidates’ primary wins or loses, a lot of mathematics but in the end you get a somewhat overview, be it very rough. Also you have to take into account that I had been tracking the swing states every week since both primaries ended last year. Not good for Hillary and her team I could see, in fact the Wednesday before the election I was gloomy, I could predict Trump was going to win Ohio by three percent (he won by five percent so I was only out by two percent) and as you know, no Presidential candidate can take their place in The White House if they don’t win Ohio. With all this, it was the hardiest email I ever sent, declining the positions to work on the Hillary Clinton campaign.
As we move into the Trump Presidency, it’s going to be a very dark lonely path for the Democrats. Yes, there is the mid-terms in 2018, but if the DNC works as it has for the last twenty years, they are a very slow climb back up on Capitol Hill as remember this Presidential election in 2016 had the lowest turn out of voters in years, which helped Trump but destroyed Hillary’s chances of winning, nearly 50% of the electorate didn’t bother to vote and historically mid-term voting has a very low voter turn-out. Also if Trump makes any small success of his first term and as everything Trump touches turns to gold, whether you like his manner and process or not and as it very hard to unseat a sitting President, as we all know, Trump going for a second term, then the DNC and Democrats could be looking at the wildness for next eight years at least, that’s 2024, a very depressing thought I know, but maybe a fact unless the DNC make radically chances and that starts today, not six months before the 2018 mid-terms.
In the 2006 mid-terms under George W. Bush, the Republicans got wiped out in the House and the Senate. All the media said at that time that Republican Party need to reinvent itself and stop been the “party of no”. Did they? Of course not, in fact under Obama as President and because of their hatred of him, they became the “party of no, no, no” on every bill he sent to the House and Senate. Now look where they are ten years later. The power of Washington again with the Democrats hanging onto their coattails and the sad thing is, Trump gets to pick the next Supreme Court justice. If he gets two terms, who knows, with three more justices ready for retirement in the next few years, he might even hit the golden jackpot of nominating four Supreme Court justices, a very scary thought. The Democrats however can’t do as the Republicans did in 2006, which was nothing to change their image and beliefs but the Democrats aren’t so lucky. If the DNC go back to business as usual, it will be a very dark long road for the Democrats back to the shining lights of The White House. It is simply the base. The Republican base and the Democrat base is so so much different and as Trump said decades ago when he was a registered Democrat, pro-choice and donated a lot of money to Bill Clinton’s Presidential campaigns: “If I was to run as President, I would run as a Republican as their voters as so dumb and easy to fool, I would lie and lie to them until I got numbers”. That’s all he had to do for this Presidential campaign and he is the winner today not Hillary Clinton.
Which brings what fundamentally went south very early on in the Hillary Clinton campaign:
1. NEVER EVER underestimate your opponent.
2. If he/she gets down in the dirt, you go down there with them. Hillary taking the high road was her downfall as political correctness (PC) means nothing anymore in the world of social media as we saw with Trump, the King of Twitter and Obama/Biden in 2008 as the King of Facebook. PC has gone way too far in the US and the rest of the world and Trump, no matter what you think, turned PC on it’s head in this presidential election and as he said on 60 Minutes last night, “it was nasty, very nasty but I am the one sitting here today talking to you and not them”. In fact 2020 and 2024 will be so so much nastier. Rumors were that Trump using his own money, paid pockets of supporters all over America to flood the internet with lies about Hillary and Bill Clinton and the secret? They could never be traced back to him or his campaign. Why didn’t the Hillary Clinton campaign do the same with the rumors about Trump’s ties to the Mafia? Why was this never floated all over the internet? PC I guess but he won and Clinton lost. The new trend now with Presidential campaigns as Trump has lowered the bar, is to win 2020 or 2024 the candidates from both parties to win, will have to get down in the mud and get dirty. Sad? Of course but no cares about the loser, they only care about the winner.
3. Dump the negative ads. One billion dollars was such a waste of money by the Clinton campaign and Trump barely spent a faction of that. We kept telling the Obama/Biden campaign and the DNC in 2012, negative ads don’t work anymore and only turn all the voters off. Pity they didn’t listen.
The Amazing Democrats are not all about criticizing without offering the DNC suggestions for the road forward:
1. Fire all your overpaid pollsters, consultants, lobbyists, etc..
2. Allow the progressive members of the party to take over. (I do not mean the loony left), members who understand the issues of the day to day worries of the lower income Americans (who sadly are too many), the homeless crisis in our cities all over America, our veterans living on our streets.
3. Get back to what a community organizer really is. I used get so annoy with new volunteers who joined our team who tried to tell the person forcefully on the other side of the phone why they should vote for Obama or donate to Obama’s campaign and the DNC. A community organizer’s job is to listen and listen well and then send what they hear up the line and hope they are listening otherwise you get a result like Tuesday’s Presidential elections.
4. As the advice to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, get off the negative ads obsession (turns all voters off).
5. And please with every email you sent, stop looking for donations all the time. It makes us feel you don’t care about anything but money and donations which we know to be true.
6. Find the soul of the Democrat Party again of FDR and John F. Kennedy.
7. And finally, listen. Never stop listening to those on the ground as we are the ones who can make the difference from the Democrats winning or losing an election.
Here is to the 2018 mid-terms, see you then and to 2020 Presidential election. Keep the faith and a sense of humor as The Amazing Democrats do and God Bless America,
An overwhelming majority of Americans say they believe protests against unfair government treatment make the United States a better country.
Unless, that is, the protesters are black.
A new Pubic Religion Research Institute poll asked whether protests against government mistreatment always improve the country, and a full 67 percent of white Americans strongly or at least partially agreed. But when it asked a separate sample whether black Americans protesting government mistreatment always makes the country better, just 48 percent of white Americans agreed.
That’s two-thirds, versus less than half.
And the racial differences didn’t end there. In fact, non-white Americans are more likely to believe in the benefits of black Americans protesting Americans writ large. Among non-white Americans, 56 percent agreed that protests against government mistreatment are good for the country, but a full 65 percent said the same when the people protesting were black.
The gaps, as the chart below shows, are clear and remarkable.
“We expected to see some differences along racial lines when we asked these questions, but we certainly had not expected a gap that size, a gap that large,” Dan Cox, research director at Public Religion Research Institute, told me.
White Americans made up the lion’s share of those polled in the survey — 709 of the 1,007 people surveyed. Pollsters also talked to 109 black Americans and 121 Latinos for the same survey. Those who responded were asked about range of issues shaping the country, including religion, race, language, patriotism and immigration.
Pollsters often worry that the people contacted for surveys will, because they are human, give in to the instinct to give the “right” or “admirable” answer rather than an honest one, Cox told me. They call this phenomenon the “social desirability bias.” And that bias certainly makes the work of polling challenging.
To subvert this problem, the PRRI asked a randomly selected half of the 1,007 people polled the question about whether protests against government mistreatment always improve the country. They asked the remaining half whether protests against government mistreatment by black Americans always improve the country. And the results were clear.
“Most white Americans generally believe that protests are good for the country, but they hold significant reservations about protests led by African Americans,” Robert P. Jones, chief executive of the Public Religion Research Institute, said in a statement released Tuesday along with the polling data. “Among white Americans, strong support for protesting government mistreatment drops dramatically when protesters are identified as black Americans.”
The PRRI/RNS Religion News Survey was conducted by the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute in partnership with Religion News Service. The nationwide survey of 1,007 adults was conducted from June 10 to June 14, 2015, in English and Spanish.
The date range of the poll is significant because pollsters finished their work three days before a white gunman fatally shot nine African Americans in a Charleston church, setting off a new round of public debate about race and mistreatment and protests against the Confederate flag in South Carolina. But those polled would, quite probably, have been aware of recent events in Ferguson, Mo.; New York City, North Charleston, S.C.; and Baltimore that led to large protests.
In each of these cities, largely black (but certainly not exclusively black) groups of protesters took to the streets. Some marched in support of a growing national movement organized loosely around the slogan “black lives matter.” In two of these cities, protests at points grew violent and devolved into riots. In Ferguson, police used military equipment, including tanks, to try to corral and quell protests, even before rioting or looting erupted.
Cox thinks that it is quite likely that protests against alleged police misconduct and excessive use of force were on the minds of those polled by the Public Religion Research Institute in June. But he also thinks that it was not simply the protests themselves but the way they were covered that might explain the nearly 20-point gap in the way that white and non-white Americans view the effect of protests involving black Americans.
News coverage of the protests and later rioting in Baltimore focused far more attention on the burned CVS store and disrupted sports events than on more complex and less visual issues such as the array of social and economic disparities that have created pockets of deep poverty in predominantly black neighborhoods in Baltimore.
What is clear is that Americans who generally support protests against government mistreatment aren’t nearly as supportive if the ones doing the protesting happen to be black.
Days after the launch of two newspaper database projects aimed at tracking killing by police officers, two Democratic senators announced Tuesday that they will introduce legislation that would require all states to report to the Justice Department anytime a police officer is involved in a shooting or any other use of force that results in death.
The legislation, introduced by Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.), would require reporting of all shootings by police officers — including non-fatal ones — which is a step further than the Death In Custody Reporting Act, which was approved by Congress last year. Each state would be required details including age, gender, race and whether the person was armed for any police shooting.
“Too many members of the public and police officers are being killed, and we don’t have reliable statistics to track these tragic incidents,” Boxer said in a statement. “This bill will ensure that we know the full extent of the problem so we can save lives on all sides.”
(Post analysis: 385 people shot and killed by police during first five months of 2015).
The nation has faced months of at-times tense discussions around issues of race and law enforcement following a series of deaths of black men and boys at the hands of police officers that became national stories — including Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., Eric Garner in New York, Tamir Rice in Cleveland, Walter Scott in North Charleston, S.C., and Freddie Gray in Baltimore.
Those incidents have renewed calls, which have been made for years by some civil rights groups, for more standardized reporting of police use-of-force incidents. To date, there is no accurate, comprehensive data available about how many people are killed by American police officers each year.
In a release announcing the bill, Boxer and Booker specifically cite The Post’s reporting — which on Sunday revealed that at least 385 people have been shot and killed by police since January, putting the nation on pace to have more than double the number of fatal police shootings tallied on average by the federal government.
That piece is the latest in a yearlong effort by The Post to report onpolice accountability, which includes the creation of a database that will chronicle every fatal shooting by police officers in country this year.
On Monday, the Guardian unveiled a similar reporting project, The Counted, which aims to tally every person killed by a police officer — by shooting, Taser or other death in custody — in 2015.
(Post analysis: Thousands dead, few officers prosecuted).
“The first step in fixing a problem is understanding the extent of the problem you have. Justice and accountability go hand in hand — but without reliable data it’s difficult to hold people accountable or create effective policies that change the status quo,” Booker said in a statement. “Our legislation is vital to ensuring we have the data required to make good decisions and implement reform measures that are balanced, objective, and protect the lives of police officers and the public.”
Some civil rights leaders have criticized Congress of passing little legislation in response to the unrest in Ferguson. Many activists who have led protests in the past year would consider the passage of legislation requiring detailed death in custody reporting to DOJ to be a major victory.
However, with Republicans in control of both the House and the Senate, Democratic legislative proposals face an uphill march toward passage.
“This is a step in the right direction. I’d have to read the bill to understand the details but the fact that there seems to be political will to establish a federal database is a very good sign,” said David Klinger, a criminologist at the University of Missouri who has been fighting for more than a decade for better reporting on police use of force incidents.
Clinton Alford Jr. was lying face-down on a South Los Angeles sidewalk, his hands behind his back, when he felt the first kick.
The 22-year-old admitted he didn’t remember all of what happened on that October afternoon, just minutes after a police officer yanked him off his bicycle. But he remembered being repeatedly kicked in the head and shocked with an electric stun gun in the back. His body, he said, “flopped like a dead fish.”
“I was just praying to God that they wouldn’t kill me,” he said. “I felt that I was going to die. Then I passed out.”
On Monday, Officer Richard Garcia, 34, was charged with one count of felony assault for using what prosecutors described as unlawful force when arresting Alford after he had surrendered.
The decision to file an assault charge is highly unusual for on-duty police officers, who are given broad legal authority to use force. But Garcia’s case highlights how prosecutors are more willing to charge a cop when incidents are caught on video, which can then be presented to a jury to provide clarity in the face of conflicting witness accounts.
Garcia is one of three LAPD officers facing assault under color of authority charges in connection with on-duty incidents caught on camera.
Jonathan Lai, 31, was charged last year after he allegedly hit a man with a police baton outside a restaurant near Staples Center in 2012. Prosecutors said footage from the restaurant’s security camera showed that the man was on his knees, with his hands on his head, when Lai struck him repeatedly.
Mary O’Callaghan, 49, was charged in a deadly 2012 incident involving a woman arrested in South L.A. Patrol car footage showed the veteran officer kicking Alesia Thomas in the stomach and groin when the woman was in handcuffs and leg restraints, prosecutors said. Thomas, a 35-year-old mother, lost consciousness in a patrol car and was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
Alford’s arrest by Garcia and other officers was captured by a security camera on a nearby building. Unlike other controversial police-civilian encounters that have made national headlines, the footage has not been made public.
However, several police officials who saw the recording described a disturbing scenario in previous interviews with The Times. One called it “horrific.” Another said the officer kicked Alford like a “football player kicking a field goal.”
Garcia, who has been with the Los Angeles Police Department for a decade, pleaded not guilty Monday. His attorney declined to comment, saying he had yet to view the video.
Chief Charlie Beck, who initially said he was “extremely concerned” about the incident, said Monday that the LAPD had taken swift action and worked closely with prosecutors to prepare the criminal case.
“From the earliest stages of our investigation, it became apparent that this individual’s actions were not only beyond department policy but were in fact criminal,” Beck told The Times.
Internal affairs investigations into the conduct of Garcia and other officers involved in the arrest are ongoing, an LAPD spokeswoman said. Three other officers and a sergeant have been removed from the field and assigned to their homes.
Garcia, who is also assigned to his home, faces up to three years in jail if convicted, the district attorney’s office said.
Alford said he was riding his bicycle on Avalon Boulevard near 55th Street on Oct. 16, when a car pulled up and a man yelled at him to stop — but did not identify himself as a police officer. Someone grabbed the back of the bike, Alford said, so he jumped off and ran.
Prosecutors said the officers were investigating a robbery and that Alford matched the description of their suspect.
After a short chase, two police officers caught up to Alford. The security camera footage showed him voluntarily getting down on the ground and putting his hands behind his back, according to several police officials who viewed the recording. The two officers restrained Alford, the sources said, but he made no movements and did not resist.
Seconds later, the sources said, a patrol car pulled up and a “heavyset” or “very large” uniformed officer rushed out and toward Alford. That officer kicked or stomped at Alford, who was still being held down by the other officers.
The sources described a series of blows that came next, including several the officer made with his elbows to the back of Alford’s head and upper body. When it was over, they said, Alford’s body was limp. It took several officers to carry him to a car.
It wasn’t until after Alford was put in the patrol car that the officers appeared to notice the security camera on a nearby garment factory, according to the sources who saw the recording. The officer who kicked Alford knocked on the door of the building, then disappeared inside.
In a federal lawsuit, Alford alleged he did not resist the officers and was not “given warning that police were attempting to detain or arrest him.” He was beaten so badly, the lawsuit alleged, that he was knocked unconscious.
On Monday, Alford told reporters that he hoped Garcia would lose his job. The 22-year-old father said he has suffered “mentally, physically and emotionally,” saying he could no longer take his children to the park or dunk a basketball. He also said he’s worried about retaliation by police.
“When I felt the handcuffs on my wrists, I assumed they were police,” he said. “But when I felt the boots kick in my temple, I didn’t understand what was going on.”
Times staff writer Joel Rubin contributed to this report.
The lawyer for the family of a 25-year-old black man who died after being arrested has told Newsbeat “it would be hard to argue that race is not an element here”.
Freddie Gray died on Sunday at a hospital in the US city of Baltimore.
He was rushed there on 12 April, 30 minutes after police restrained him on the ground and put him in a van.
Lawyer Billy Murphy says when Freddie Gray got to hospital 80% of his spinal cord had been severed near his neck.
“Our information is that he would have been a quadriplegic if he’d survived,” he says.
He believes Mr Gray was in police custody for longer than officers claim and says he asked the police department for video footage on Thursday.
“There was a police camera right above the point where he was stopped, and mysteriously those tapes have not been released to the public.
“There is no reason for the police not to release them immediately – the tapes don’t lie.
Mr Murphy says he has “no confidence” in the police investigation and “nor should any reasonable citizen have confidence in an agency under fire like this which is investigating itself – only mischief can come from that. It’s like the wolf investigating the fox.
“Like other human beings, the police have a tendency to cover up their wrong doing – they call it ‘the blue shield of silence'”.
He says he has much more confidence in a separate investigation being carried out by the state prosecutor.
Police say Freddie Gray was running away from officers when he was restrained.
Mr Murphy says: “What right did the police have to chase a running man without knowing why he was running, without having any information that he had committed a crime of any kind? They saw him running and then they chased.”
“It’s impossible to look at inner city policing without there being a race element attached because there’s been so much historical police brutality.”
He says the Gray family are “very, very, very upset.”
He added: “Shocked is an understatement. Upset is a mild term. They are outraged.”
Mr Gray’s death has sparked protests by activists campaigning against police brutality.
For two days more than 100 protesters have gathered outside a local police station, demanding more information about the death.
The campaign group Justice League NYC held a march on Sunday afternoon with signs reading `Black Lives Matter’, and `Unarmed!! One Man.’
Police and city officials have promised a transparent and thorough criminal investigation.
At a press conference on Sunday, Baltimore’s Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said: “I will ensure we will hold the right people accountable.”
Baltimore Police Deputy Commissioner Jerry Rodriguez said: “I can say with certainty that we have no physical, video or any other evidence of an altercation that would have resulted in this – so the question is how, and why.”
He said some officers and other witnesses had been interviewed, but that the officers who are subjects of the criminal investigation had a right not to potentially incriminate themselves.
They’ve been placed on administrative leave while the investigation is carried out.
According to the Baltimore Sun newspaper, the US Department of Justice is carrying out a review of complaints about Baltimore’s Police Department.
It follows the paper’s investigation that claimed taxpayers had paid nearly $6 million since 2011 to settle more than 100 lawsuits alleging police brutality and other misconduct.
Since the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, last August, a series of police killings of unarmed black men has prompted protests and led to accusations of racism.
It’s less than three weeks since a white police officer in South Carolina was charged with murder for fatally shooting 50-year-old Walter Scott.
Derrick Janx, a blogger and author from North Carolina, was surprised when this tweet went viral.
He told the BBC: “When I posted the image I didn’t expect it to get the traction it did.”
“When it went viral, [there were] hundreds of thousands of comments that a lot of parents are having that conversation with their children just out of fear and wanting them to come home alive.
“This is a conversation that every black family is having,” he said.
WARNING GRAPHIC: Video Shows Fatal Police Shooting In South Carolina.
There are no more words anymore that any of us can say or write when we watch this video over and over again. No, it is not because we are sick or bored with nothing to do, it is because, after all that has happened and being said and again today we witness what the African-American community have being saying for so long: that the White Police Officers are out to kill them given the right circumstances. We saw that in South Carolina today and how Police Officer Michael T. Slager murdered Walter L. Scott who fled because he hadn’t paid child support? You see here we go in American and its business as usual with the bullshit as Mr. Scott’s twenty year old history of a battery charge is brought up within hours of the video being leaked to the press. Where is the other side of the story? That Police Officer Slager who murdered Walter Scott in cold blood and then planted his Police Department issued taster gun beside Mr. Scott as he lay dying or possibly dead from the rounds of bullets fired from Slager’s handgun. Where was Officer’s Slager’s record played out to the media? Where were the media reports of the complaints made against him on previous occasions and that were dropped as they have their secret code and it can’t be broken and that is that one Police Officer can’t give evidence against another (or rat as they would call it against their brother or sister in uniform). Why can’t us lay people wake up to the truth and take our heads out of our asses and get away from these post 9/11 Hollywood movies that have mostly turned all our cops on screen into heroes.
South Carolina ’s Police Officer Slager actions as we all watched them in horror today makes LAPA Officer Dennis Peck (Richard Gere) from the movie “Internal Affairs” look like a boy scout.
For one as a voter I am tired of this and there is no other side to this story as the video shows us how coldly and inhuman those two Police Officers walked around the body of Mr. Scott for nine minutes and calmly planting evidence on Mr. Scott unaware of them being filmed doing such. A murder charge for Office Slager? Oh please, why does the US Justice System insult us time after time? We know Officer Slager will walk away a free man just like Officer Wilson did when he murdered Michael Brown in cold blood too. It is time Congress brought in new rules and guidelines for our Nation’s Police Officers and all their guns are removed from them until they learn to respect them and human life. If I hear the President open his big mouth again about the bravely and courage our fine Police Officers show in their daily duties which they are paid for, I will change over and vote for Jeb Bush in 2016. He should put up or shut up for his own people and stop turning his back on them all the time. No President has ever done this anytime in our turbulent history but President Obama and history will not be kind on him regarding this fact and his disastrous record on Civil Rights as his term as President of the United States of American comes to a close in 653 days.
To think those two Police Officers in South Carolina are paid to serve and protect when you would treat a dead animal kinder then these Police Officers treated Mr. Scott as we all saw on video. All I can honestly say and knowing how these individuals operate when threatened, that the person videoing that very sick behaviour of Officer Slager is lucky they weren’t seeing by Slager and they should count their blessings that they are alive today. It is the person who risked their life shooting that video of the cruel murder of Walter Scott in South Caroline for us all to witness who we should be invited to the Oval Office for a medal from the President and not another Police Officer that makes Obama look good and makes for nice press and pictures on the West Wing video clips series.
There are no two sides of the story any longer, we are all sick to our stomachs what we see now on a daily basis and it is time for Congress and The White House to wake up and bring in new rules and laws governing sworn Police Officers who are paid to serve and protect and it is about time the candidates for the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election started getting involved in this debate (including Hilary Clinton). All the Presidential candidates better not hide under the tails of their campaigns avoiding this issue as we will ensure (with the power of our pen and our blogs) to bring this issue right up to the top of the election pile and no matter how much they duck and run from it, we will be there to remind all 2016 Presidential candidates (including Hillary Clinton) of their civic duty. Please 2016 Presidential candidates bring this issue to the forefront of the discussion for the American people so we can vote accordingly as we only have 580 days left to the US Presidential election on Tuesday November 8th, 2016.
