7. Have law enforcement throughout the country really thought about this?

I’m wondering if police unions will continue to support President Pedo? These unions represent law enforcement officers in matters related to their employment, including wages, benefits, working conditions, and disciplinary procedures. They negotiate collective bargaining agreements with police departments, influencing policies on staffing, overtime, and even the use of force. In addition to collective bargaining, they also engage in political advocacy, lobbying for legislation that supports law enforcement interests and public safety. When they find they are being supplanted by national guardsmen and (ultimately) the military in general, they may see jobs, salaries, perks, and leverage evaporate. Essentially, they become non-essential. Why should towns, cities and states use taxpayer money to fund their own police protection when President Pedo will supply them military “police” at “no cost.” [What else are we going to do with current ICE agents when all the immigrants have been deported?]
