  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Cops are human too. I am sure it irritates them to give special privileges to people, and it must be hard to take running around as helpers for those who degrade you or are pro-criminal or who want your job eliminated.

That's not the reason given by the police union. Anyway, ChiPs are still on the job.

Experience in the field has taught me nobody cares who the detail is for when they’re working time and a half or a private detail. In my department they all hated Bush Jr when it came time to vote, but had no issue when he came to town to campaign because it was big (and easy) money. Stand by road. Block road. Stay by road. Sit in car by road. Get $55+ dollars an hour and credit in any applicable union for taking the job. Win/win/win.

That said, as municipal officers, they only did escort and protection gigs if literally nobody else was available… It simply wasn’t their job.

But most police officers I worked with were adult enough to differentiate between “I don’t like this person so I won’t vote for them” and “I don’t like this person therefore I don’t care if something happens to them and don’t want to serve in protecting them.”

If the Harris' can afford a 5 million dollar Brentwood home, they can afford a private security staff.

*That* was the reason given by the police union. Unlike the fantasy in the OP.

Obviously, many wealthy families have and have had Secret Security details.

Given she was a DA and attorney general for CA, I’d bet she has a better relationship with the police than even you do.
