National Police Union Endorses Donald Trump
Source: Huffington Post/Washington Post

A labor union representing more than 250,000 police officers officially endorsed Donald Trump for president on Friday.

The Fraternal Order of Police said its “member spoken,” and that the Republican candidate had locked down the necessary two-thirds support from the union’s board. The union’s president, Chuck Canterbury, said in a statement that Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton hadn’t bothered seeking the union’s backing.

“Obviously, this is an unusual election,” Canterbury said. “We have a candidate who declined to seek an endorsement and a candidate without any record as an elected official. Mr. Trump, however, has seriously looked at the issues facing law enforcement today. He understands and supports our priorities and our members believe he will make America safe again.”
