While most of the politicians vying for their party's nomination for President of the United States pay lip service to the nation's law enforcement officers, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) is actually doing something to earn the respect and gratitude of America's cops, according to many police officers and organizations.
For example, the American Federation of Police -- with well over 100,000 members -- recently praised Ron Paul for introducing a bill that would help cops obtain topnotch body armor that would withstand rounds fired from most firearms. Rep. Paul's bill -- HR 3304 -- would amend the Internal Revenue Code to provide for a tax credit to law enforcement officers who purchase their own body armor.
"I urge all police officers and concerned citizens to contact their congressmen and ask them to support Rep. Paul's bill," said Deputy Sheriff Dennis Wise, president of the American Federation of Police.
"I would also like to applaud Congressman Ron Paul for his support and forward thinking in trying to help make law enforcement officers across our nation safer each day," said Wise.
Rep. Ron Paul appears to be popular with many US cops. "He's never found it necessary to force police officers to stand with him for photo opportunities the way other presidential candidates such as Hillary Clinton do," said New York Police Officer Edna Aguayo.
One police officer claims cops in New York and other states are forced to pose with the likes of Senators Hillary Clinton and John McCain. If an officer refuses, he or she is charged with insubordination by their superiors.
"It's a joke how these cops are used as props during election campaigns. But Ron Paul doesn't pay cops lip service -- he actually works to help them enforce the law," said another cop forced to pose with Sen. Clinton during one of her staged "rallies."

A little story
I carry a whole bunch of DVDs with me wherever I go (AF2F, Washington You're Fired, Money as Debt, etc.). Whenever I see anyone in uniform (ok, not postal workers) I make an effort to talk to them for a couple of minutes and hand them WYF and AF2F discs.
The other day I saw a motorcycle cop on the sidewalk writing out a ticket. He was a little on the short side but very muscular, with black hair and the obligatory mustache and kind of a New Jersey tough guy look. I walked up to him and told him that I was sorry to interrupt his work, but that I had something for him. He didn't brush me off, but he wasn't overjoyed to be interrupted either. I told him that I really appreciated the fine work he and his colleagues did, that I considered him overworked and underpaid, and that as a token of my appreciation I had a couple of videos for him that I considered important viewing. I handed him the videos, and his eyes lit up and a big smile of thanks spread across his face. I mentioned that if he found the videos to be important viewing that he spread them around the office. He said "I will!" and I went on my way.
I have had similar reactions many times with not only police, but firemen too.

Excellent story!
Thanks for sharing and the work you're doing.
really they get called for
really they get called for insubordination if they do not stand with them? WOW!
I would like to see the
I would like to see the police and the troops turn against the corporatists and beat the crap out of them, to show how it feels to be abused! That's why I think it's important we try to teach police officers and troops about what's at stake; of course, there are some that won't give us the time of day but that's life.
Hear Hear!
Excellent point!

I read this some
time ago but it is worth remembering. I think when things go down they will round up the local police and replace with Blackwater type thugs. Just a feeling. Peace
worried about the same
in Iraq even US soldiers are afraid of Blackwater thugs.
peace&cheers drinking beer to you!
