Trump to FOP: "They're afraid of that badge. They're afraid of you... They're afraid of that more than anything else."

To which, begs the question: "They" WHO, mfkr??

Trump urged cops to possibly break the law on his behalf in latest speech: NY Times - Rawstory

Donald Trump urged police officers to monitor polling places for signs of voter fraud during a North Carolina appearance Friday to accept an endorsement from America's largest police union.

“I hope you can watch, and you’re all over the place, watch for the voter fraud. Because we win without voter fraud. We win so easily,” Trump said to the crowd representing the Fraternal Order of Police.

“You can keep it down just by watching, because, believe it or not, they’re afraid of that badge. They’re afraid of you people. They’re afraid of that more than anything else.”

According to The New York Times, Trump may have just requested that cops break the law.

Who exactly are this "they" Trump seeks to intimidate? Voters exercising their right to vote?

Or some broader "they" who Trump (and people like him) presume to be of a criminal element?

Some "they" he believes are "poisoning the blood" and are "criminals and rapists" (HE should talk)?

Some "they" who by virtual of race or bloodline are (some are arguing) only 3/5ths of a person?

Excepting the "smart ones" of course.

Because OBVIOUSLY he's not talking about those fake electors of his who fraudulently misrepresented their legitimacy to speak on behalf of their respective states, and who drew up fraudulent papers to present to the nation's archives, in a CRIMINAL conspiracy to overthrow an election.

Nor is he talking about those insurectionist who he incited to storm the nation's Capitol, and beat Capitol police while seeking to hang the then VP of the United States.

That "they" whose release he demands, who her praises as heroes, and promises to pardon.

So I'm still wondering.."they" WHO?

Intimidating legitimate voters is the intent.

Glaringly obvious WHO actually tried to steal an election and plans to use every possible means to steal this one.
