    Why do most American police officers support or vote Republican?

    This is the case in most nations in History. Conservatives tend to highly prioritize order. And order is usually upheld by law (and/or religion)

    Because conservatives like obedience, authority, order, control, etc. Myself on the other hand prefer freedom, free will, and self-reliance.

    Same reason unions generally vote for Democrats, they find a receptive audience for their needs there.

    Iirc it started around the Vietnam War era because cops hated all of the protesting hippy . Prior to that cops were staunchly Democrat.

    Officers see the stark reality the naive left don't want to admit even exists. While the left is keeping safe in heavily policed districts or on heavily policed school campuses, the officers are tasked with constantly being in front of the worst part of society - the part the left, within their gated communities and sheltered existence, pretends is underrepresented and suppressed. So officers no doubt feel the futility of risking their life day after day to protect folks that hate them for naive reasons.

    Lol DMC saving purple prose for right wing civil service heroes against the venal, decadent, ungrateful, leftish haute bougeoisie.

    You'd think we didn't have thousands of other foundations and non-profit civil society orgs on the front lines of overlooked social ills as well, no nurses and doctors, no EMTs and trauma docs and helpful bystanders.

    It is true that the work of cops requires them to handle and process homeless people and often crazy people, it is a stark reality, cops are neither well trained nor well equipped for it. Perhaps they shouldn't have to do so much of it.

    prior to Civil Rights the Democrats were more conservative and the Republicans were more liberal. I think Lyndon Johnson shook it all upside down. He was supposedly another Texas Dixiecrat but turned out to be left of center.

    DMC is stuck on the left (evil) vs right (good) paradigm. People like that are usually too far gone tbh...

    A lot of cops are a bunch of thugs and useful idiots doing the work of private prisons and elite billionaires that DMC claims to hate. What he doesn't realize is that Republicans and Democrats are two sides of the same coin.

    Oh now it's the left that lives in gated communities and sheltered existence.

    Yeah as if Republican politicians don't do the bidding of elite corporations and Zionists

    Don't blame Christisniy. The left hates Republican politicians and Zionist s trying to shove down their religious beliefs down our throats. Otherwise people are free to believe what they want but none of this forced patriotism and Christianity BS.

    There is no "forced Christianity".

    This is romantic to a point, but the actual stark reality is that big cities, who largely vote blue, see or have seen the largest swaths of crime (NY, LA, Chicago[ding]). They're neither gated communities, or isolated from crime. LEO still voted/votes red.

    Let's also not forget that as much as they vote republican, they also love to have their police unions.

    Again, there's just simpler reasons for this, much like evangelicals voting red. They just have a place in the party table, whereas they do not in the other party.

    Of course there is. What does the 1st amendment has to do with abortion? It doesn't.
