Police

Republicans like the police. Not The Police, but police. The Police were too into surveillance and invading privacy, something the Republicans did not like. But they are big fans of the boys in blue, the police.

To Republicans, the police can't do anything wrong. They are the most upstanding and trustworthy people in this country. They uphold the laws of the land and assure equal justice for the entirety of America. No matter if you're white, white, white, or white, the police are on your side.

The fact is that we are in a political landscape that if you are not with us, you're against us. Something W coined when talking about terrorism. But it seems to have trickled down to our own country. The police ended up on the Republican side because they are the epitome of small government and states' rights. They handle all the states' issues and uphold those laws. I feel like the feds are probably a step lower than them.

But the police should be on both sides of the political spectrum. The police are the ones who uphold the laws, not creating them. They have no political affiliation because they most uphold the laws of the land regardless. They should not be a political pawn and should instead be looked into how they attempt to create equality for all Americans.
