10. While she wouldn't get their endorsement anyway, she should have given a speech to them

encouraging neighborhood policing in the sense that police get to know the people in their towns and work with the community to break down attitudes both sides have of each other. Police have an Us vs. Them outlook and the community as a whole are afraid of them. She could have dressed them down but good for the epidemic in unnecessary and illegal police violence on the communities they are to serve. She could use that opportunity to push for independent prosecutors in cases of alleged police misconduct.

She wasn't going to get their support anyway, most cops are Republicans just like the military, but it would have been great to see her with a plan to reduce all of the unjustified police shootings, beatings, and arrests.
