From a Clinton Township, Michigan Police Lieutenant

(Compiler's note: Must read. rca)

For those of you who know me, I rarely talk Politics.

Those are private matters for the most part, but I just have to vent a little.

I would call myself a conservative as 99% of Policeman are, and almost
always vote Republican, but I also know that they are all Politicians.

We are stuck in a quagmire of a two party system and the non politician,
independent has no chance to change this country or run this country.

I am not trying at all to dissuade your vote, but Obama has really
cheesed me off. I have read a few articles and have heard that he does
not support anyone in uniform. That goes from our Military to our
Police and probably the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts for all I know. I
have heard these stories of Obama making the Police and Secret Service
(who protect his dumb butt) stay out of his eyesight.

Well, I learned it well Thursday October 9th. Michelle Obama was in
Clinton Twp. Mi Thursday for a rally at our biggest High School. My
department had a small role in protecting her. About 8 Officers were
detailed

to the School for HER security. I was offered the overtime but turned it
down.

One of my Sergeants, and best buddies was assigned there. He came back
infuriated. The rumors are true!!!

My Sergeant was providing security in a hallway as Mr.s Obama was moving
from room to room for different reasons. He was told by the SS that
when she came down his hall, he had to duck behind the corner and not
allow her to see him. He questioned this several times to be sure he
heard it right, and the SS agent (embarrassed of course) had to hide
from her view too.

It is outrageous that the persons running for the President of our
country on the Democratic side, has so much disdain for men and woman in
uniform, they demand that they are kept from their view!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lets be clear. This was not in the public. This was not a Honor Guard
detail standing behind her on stage in front of thousands. This was in
a hallway, out of the public eye, and the Obama's refuse to even see an
Officer or Soldier in their view. The Police have to hide!!!!!!!
WHY???????????? That's the scary question! What else is going on here?

No wonder he refuses to wear the flag on his suit or salute the flag.
It will be a terrible day if Obama is elected to run our country I love
so much.

It is so sad that these people are the few who we have to choose from
for the most powerful position in the world!!!!!!!!!

It's almost unbelievable!!

Thanks for letting me vent!!!!!!!!

I already heard about this straight from the mouths of the Michigan State
Police that are on their Motor Unit. They were told to "hide" behind the
bus when Obama exited it so that he couldn't see them. Our (the Macomb
County Sheriff's Office) Motor Unit, along with the State Police, escorted
McCain when he was in town, and we were right out front, where we could
proudly be seen. I don't know how you think, but the only people I have
known in my career that don't want to be seen near cops are
criminals....thats scary!
