  1. Why would a group of police be endorsing anyone in a primary? Every one of the candidates has supported law enforcement. This is an outrageous slap in the face!

    1. They endorsed him for the same reason other organizations make endorsements, they have a preference in the race.

    2. No, not every candidate has supported law enforcement.

      Larry has been a disaster on parole, which is why Mayor Tenhaken and others have been publicly critical.

      Obviously the rank and fill cops have had enough of Larry’s excuses.

      1. Agree, Hansen has been soft on crime and flip flopped on the prison vote. Cops don’t trust him.

      2. Can you provide the date or function where TenHaken was critical of Rhoden’s stance in crime? I follow TH quite closely and don’t think I’ve ever seen him be critical of the Governor on anything actually. Thank you.

  2. This is a joke, right,? SD Fraternal Order if the Police endorsed Dusty Johnson,?!?!?!?!

          1. When I think liberal, I am apparently supposed to think of police.

            DWC comment section once again proving that words have no meaning.
