Good grief.
Cops are, in many ways, much like any other large subset of people: they vary greatly in character, personality, ideology, politics and many other things.
Saying "most cops are right wing" is ludicrous. Granted a majority are relatively conservative on certain issues (crime and punishment, usually), I'd be willing to bet 35 to 50% of the nation's LEOs voted for Obama.
If that overly-general statement had been aimed at an ethnic group it would have gotten the poster harshly censured for racism...but since it is just "the pigs" its okay I suppose. :roll:
