I work in law enforcement, & I proudly support @JoeBiden 
His empathy, compassion, fairness, & dedication to the people of this country makes him the obvious law & order candidate.

“Law & order” means nothing without justice & equality under the law. It requires empathy, compassion, & objectivity. Fundamentally, it requires a devotion to the idea that we are all bound by the law & that no one is above it.
As if it wasn’t already painfully obvious, @realDonaldTrump is the antithesis of justice. Last night was the perfect showcase for that. Both candidates were given a set of debate rules to follow, & he simply did not believe the rules applied to him.
Trump’s disregard for the rules last night was emblematic of his philosophy of lawlessness & disorder. Trump truly believes that he is above the law.
Cops & prosecutors across the country are tasked with keeping our communities safe. We provide a service to our communities.
It behooves us to care deeply about our communities & the people that comprise them, regardless of race or socioeconomic status. We ought to care about everyone, especially the persons whom we prosecute.
There is nothing weak about the notion of compassionate law enforcement. I can still be an effective prosecutor while also understanding that people are not defined by their behavior on a single occasion. I can hold people accountable for behavior w/o branding them as the enemy.
@realDonaldTrump is doing everything he can to destroy the notion of justice. He makes it difficult for law enforcement to protect communities in a just manner, because he pits law enforcement against the community.
The law enforcement agencies & unions that have endorsed @realDonaldTrump must seriously reconsider their positions. They are buying into Trump’s plan to pit them against the communities that they are tasked with serving.
@realDonaldTrump is perpetuating an us-vs-them mentality in police departments across the country that will only make things worse. It is harmful to the very idea of justice.
To those in law enforcement who take seriously the ideas of justice & accountability under the law, I urge you to speak out against this corrupt president.
To the cops and prosecutors out there: @realDonaldTrump doesn’t care about you. He constantly undermines your work. If it were politically beneficial to him, he would abandon you. Wake up, and do what’s right for your community and country.
