Subject: Michigan Police Officers take on Obama

: Michigan Police Officers take on Obama Please pass this along to everyone that you have on your e-mail list because this is just the beginning --- if this arrogant, egotistical, super liberal, president wannabe gets into office....

To all,
I have read all of the emails from Law Enforcement & Military personnel about Barack Obama's rudeness and what seems to be disgust for basically anyone in uniform. Well, it's my turn to add to the list of emailers and here it is:

So members of the Calhoun County Sheriff 's Department, Michigan State Police, (me included) and other local agencies inside Calhoun County are working with Secret Service in the security of Mr. Obama. Mr. Obama's bus arrives in Battle Creek and pulls into the stadium area. Before Mr. Obama exits the bus, he has the Secret Service get off and tell all Law Enforcement personnel in uniform that they now have to stand behind the bus so Mr. Obama is not seen with anyone in a Law Enforcement uniform before he gets off or while in the public view. So, everyone from Michigan State Police, Sheriff 's Deptments and other agencies look at each other for a brief second, go and stand behind the bus out of sight so Mr. Obama does not have to see, or been seen with, what to him is 'undesirables' since he refuses to be seen , or even acknowledge Military or Law Enforcement personnel in uniform. And he wants to be our commander-in-chief!

At a time of war and terrorism in our world, this presidental candidate who is being protected by various branches of the military & law enforcement at the tax payers expense, refuses to acknowledge, be seen with, have in his photographed background, any type of Military or Law Enforcement in uniform.

But this is not in the headlines or in the news or on TV. The TV news doesn't show us marching around behind the bus. In the future, look and see if you can see a single soldier or police officer in uniform when you see Obama. Why? I wonder what the story or media frenzy would be if it was Muslims, blacks, whites, Jews, or any other race, gender, religon, and/or occupation, that Mr. Obama refused to be seen with or have around him.

Why would I make this up? Everyone in Law Enforcement knows we have traditionally had more funding under Democrats.

Just food for thought leading up to November 4th.

***and then this came shortly after....


FWIW, Jason Kern has apologized for this email, he stated that he wasn’t there, and the Michigan Tactical Officers Association has stated that they do not get involved in politics.

Also, AFAIK, I believe there's actually a rule about presidential nominees being photographed with uniform police officers... Could someone verify?

There's the MTOA's response, I'm not sure about what you say Epoch.

A quick google cites there are no sources to back this up, in addition doesn't he usually ride along with a press motorcade like all the other candidates and their VP's?

 

:dunno: read it somewhere on another site. It seemed like a stupid rule, and that's why I decided to ask

 

shit, I don't want to be seen w/ a bunch of cops either.. it's usually a bad thing.

 

maybe he doesn't want to make it seem like a big deal and that he is trying to project an image that keeps him intune with the people.

 

I think it's probably an image thing... I wouldn't be suprised if McCain is doing the same thing.... there is undoubtedly plenty of police presence at any campaign stop, but you dont' see them in the press photos for either campaign. :dunno:

 

it's just because if he sees a cop he'll run as a reflex




:uhhok:

 

Add some watermelon and grape soda in your pic.

 

:chuckles: :shhh:




Oh wait, this is on topic
