Announcing a fairly major change to my voting behavior

From here on out, I will never again vote for any candidate who is endorsed by the Fraternal Order of Police.

That won't change my voting behavior too much, given that they usually endorse the Republican, but here and there they do endorse the Democrat. Any Democrat who gets their endorsement will not get a vote from me.

If fact, in the last election, one mayoral candidate lost my vote for that exact same reason.

You sure you want to preempt the events in Ferguson with that?

FOP supports gun control in many districts and endorses Democratic candidates fairly often.

Democratic leaning higher echelon. In many locales the FOP is the union.
