Hillary Clinton's relationship with law enforcement, like her involvement with any issue, has evolved over time. Sometimes over night.
There are reports that Hillary, as First Lady, had little respect for—and was even verbally abusive toward—the Secret Service agents assigned to protect her . . . with their lives if necessary. Apparently, she also gave these men the impression that her dislike extended beyond the Secret Service to "law enforcement and the military."
After receiving harsh criticism from the left when she made the "mistake" of declaring that "all lives matter," Hillary started courting the Black Lives Matter movement, attempting to ingratiate herself and secure their support for her campaign.
Against this backdrop and when faced with the decision of whether or not to seek the endorsement of the National Fraternal Order of Police, she declined to submit to the process. A move seen as a snub by the police union.
