| TRANSCRIPT Steve Zona, Florida FOP President: “In 2020, when Minneapolis had the plan to defund their police department, Val Demings called that ‘thoughtful,’ and that’s very disturbing.” Al Palacio, Miami Dade School Police Department FOP President: “The fact that Val Demings, his opponent, supports the Defund the Police movement, to me, is a non-starter.” Nelson Cruz, Orange County Corrections Department: “It’s frustrating that someone who wore a badge would take that position.” Steve Zona, Florida FOP President: “Val Demings went to Washington and she abandoned her brothers and sisters in blue.” Lonnie Miller, Florida FOP First Vice President Emeritus: “We need an individual who will stand and support us at all costs.” Al Palacio, Miami Dade School Police Department FOP President: “Senator Rubio has not only tried not to Defund the Police, he’s defended the Police so we’re here to defend him.” |
