So, what exactly are we dealing with here? This group is called The Police Leaders for Community Safety, and if this strikes you as a rather generic-sounding outfit, you are entirely correct. The “stunning” aspect of their endorsement is pure hyperbole, given we are talking about a group that entails little more than a few dozen members. And just who are they?
They are comprised of former law enforcement members. The chairwoman, Riseling, is (we are serious here) the former Chief of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Police. So, she is a former campus cop. We looked over the rolls of this outfit and the name Paul Blart did not arise. But this gets even better…or worse, depending on perspective.
Concerning that NJ.com notation — how this group “normally backs Trump” — we are curious as to this impossibility. See, there has not been sufficient time for the PLCS to have been a former supporter of the former president for a simple reason – this organization was just formed in June of this year! It is completely a prefab outfit designed to generate a favorable headline for Harris, done in the hopes of countering Trump’s backing by the legitimate police organization, in existence for generations.
