Trump wins endorsement from Fraternal Order of Police

Trump wins endorsement from Fraternal Order of Police
By LOUIS NELSON 09/16/16 02:12 PM EDT

The Fraternal Order of Police endorsed Donald Trump for president on Friday, praising the Republican nominee’s “real commitment to law enforcement.”

Trump met with the 33,000-member police union in early August and its endorsement bolsters his claim that he is the “law and order candidate.” The order’s national president, Chuck Canterbury, said Hillary Clinton did not seek his organization’s endorsement.

"Please do not contact me ever again asking for a donation. Your organization endorsed Donald Trump for president. I could never support any organization who abides by the hate he peddles."

He was an LAPD homicide detective and a hard core union guy. This would piss him off beyond belief.
