We have several friends who are police officers, and some of them insisted on voting for Trump in the last election. They
said "Republicans support the police."  - Well, I think they've learned differently since 2016. 
WHY? It's Democrats who vote consistently to arm the police with vests, training, guns and equipment.
WHY NOT REPUBLICANS? - Not only do they CUT Police funds but the man they voted for in 2016 doesn't and hasn't paid them for his many rallies across the country.
  So if you're a police officer and you vote for a Republican- You are voting against your profession.

In the News:  Why the Trump campaign won’t pay police bills

Introduction

“Do we love law enforcement or what?” President Donald Trump asked a cheering crowd during his “Make America Great Again” political rally Oct. 12 in Lebanon, Ohio.  

“Thank you, law enforcement!” the president later told officers, who he called “heroes.”

But when Lebanon City Hall sent Trump’s campaign a $16,191 invoice for police and other public safety costs associated with his event, Trump didn’t respond. Trump’s campaign likewise ignored Lebanon officials’ follow-up reminders to cover the sum — one rich enough to fund the entire police force for nearly two days in this modest city of 21,000, between Dayton and Cincinnati.
The bill remains unpaid.

“There’s a lot of benefit when a president comes here: economic benefits, more visibility for our community,” Lebanon Mayor Amy Brewer said. “But I would hope and believe the Trump campaign would pay its bills. It’s our taxpayer dollars.”

The red ink Trump poured on Lebanon’s thin blue line is no anomaly.

At least nine other city governments — from Mesa, Arizona, to Erie, Pennsylvania — are still waiting for Trump to pay public safety-related invoices they’ve sent his presidential campaign committee in connection with his political rallies, according to interviews with local officials and municipal records obtained by the Center for Public Integrity.
Some invoices are three years old. In all, city governments say Trump’s campaign owes them at least $841,219.
