Why did the cops boo Hillary?

[Bettie]

I don't get it why all the hate?

I'm not too sure about why but she sure isn't liked. I know there were two state troopers during the time Clinton was governor who disliked them immensely. They said they were treated like they were below them and even expected to walk their dogs.
But this probably has to do with a cop that was hit by her motorcade (the car she was in actually) and they didn't stop. They were supposed to stop for a check point and didn't. They kept going and a cop got hurt.....and they still kept going. Why, I don't know. Maybe it had something to do with the Secret Service making the car go on, I don't know. But, they should have stopped.....and she should have made a public apology.

Probably it is because most cops are conservative and can also spot a pathological liar, thief and all-around sleaze (Hillary is one, too) a mile away on a dark night.

One story was that a Police union(PBA?) asked for an audience with Senator Clinton, but she was "too busy" for them.

Maybe not hate, but they have a right to boo her if they so desire. Any of us have a right to boo any politician we so choose.

She also would not meet with the Mothers of the Golden Stars (Something like that.....Mothers who have lost children in a war). When they repeated their request, she shot off a very nasty note to them.
I couldn't believe it when she stayed with that sleaze man after what he did. She could have taught millions of women to respect themselves and gained a lot more respect as a Senator if she had given him the heave ho.
But, being First Lady with all the perks meant more.

"that was my question"

That was your question? The question was asked by Bettie? Anything you'd like to tell us about?

It's not hate. Didn't hear what she said, but heard a clip of Richard Gere, what a hosehead!!!! This is not a time for compassion, it's a time to apply a beating of biblical proportions to these putzs.

Yes, i asked the question in another post. i was repeating it.

I'm sorry, it wasn't the PBA, it was COPS(Concerns of Police Survivors), which is a group dedicated to helping the loved ones of fallen officers.

This is the first I've heard of this. I've been in my cave for three days. Where was she bood? Any links? Just sorry I wasn't there to bring it up a decible

Here is a short link.

She is disliked for many reasons. One was mentioned, she wouldn't meet with the survivors group.
Another reason were the comments she made during the her Senate campaign, regarding the Diallo shooting and the officers involved. So it is hypocritical of her to support the NYPD now that it is "the" thing to do. They needed support when the public was condemning them for actions that the public can't understand.
Also, keep in mind the fact that the Clintons supported the release of the Puerto Rican terrorists who planted car bombs years ago under police cars.
She's a hypocrit who has in her actions and words shown disdain for the police. Now it's politically correct to hail the NYPD as the heroes they are, and Hil wants to jump on the band wagon.

I've also heard that during her campaign the police had an altercation with those who were her supporters. It seems as they were working crowd control the pro-Hillary crowd started spitting on the officers. I may be off slightly on the details but that's the jist of it.

She also made a statement that pretty much accused officers in the Diallo case of being murderers.

If you recall, during the initial speech made by Bush following the disaster, there were several close ups of Hillary looking around like she had somewhere else to be. Every now and then she would lean over and whisper something in Smucko's ear. The bad one was after Bush held up that dead officers shield and announced the wife who gave it to him, the camera panned to Hillary and she had such a look of disinterest it was almost unbearable. Meanwhile the rest of the crowd was all but in tears.

When Bush went to visit ground zero Hillary was not far behind. The police and firemen just about climbed over each other to shake his hand. When Hillary came behind they all stood there with thier arms crossed. A reporter stated "it was embarrasing".

The officers and Firemen were angry that she would try and use a bennifit that was meant for them as a way to get her pudgy face in the lime light. I just wish they had rotten produce.
