Nation's largest police union endorses Trump

The nation’s largest police union on Friday endorsed Donald Trump for president, lauding his commitment to police officers. The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) gave the GOP presidential nominee its endorsement after he received support from more than two-thirds of the group’s national board.

“He’s made a real commitment to America’s law enforcement and we’re proud to make a commitment to him and his campaign by endorsing his candidacy today.”

With labor groups overwhelmingly behind Clinton, Trump made an aggressive play for support from the police union.

He met with top officials from the FOP at Trump Tower in May, and he has made stops on the campaign trail at the union’s local chapters.

“I’m on your side 1,000 percent,” Trump told an FOP chapter in North Carolina in August. “What you do is incredible.”

The FOP had expressed anger at Trump’s rival, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, for declining to fill out a questionnaire necessary to win the group’s endorsement.

The group characterized Clinton’s refusal as a snub, and Canterbury referenced it in his statement Friday.

“Obviously this is an unusual election. We have a candidate who declined to seek an endorsement and a candidate without any record as an elected official,” he said.

“Donald Trump may not ever have been elected to public [office] but he is a proven leader and that’s what we need for the next four years — a leader unafraid to make tough choices and see them through.”

So Trump says he's on their side, therefore they support him? Are they so easily led? Probably. Why they're supporting any candidate is beyond me.

Fort Worth police say two officers were shot while responding to a shooting call at a home Friday evening. One officer is in critical condition, and the other has minor injuries, the department says. The call came in at about 8:30 from a home on the 3800 block of Wharton Drive. Police spokesman Officer Marc Povero said the arriving officers found a person in a back bedroom unresponsive from a gunshot wound. They were informed that a witness to the shooting was located in a shed in the backyard, so they went to make contact with that person.

Do you have a point?
Apparently you're the only asshole that doesn't understand THE POINT! Now...PLAY DEAD!

Name the time when being a cop wasn't a dangerous job. Name the year that no cops died in the line of duty. It's always a tragedy when it happens, but how is today different from any other time in our history?

Because it's actively encouraged by some, tacitly supported by others, and facilitated by the whole Democratic party.


That's too stupid to even consider.

I thought Republicans hated unions and wanted to eliminate them?
It's not that you don't know much, it's that much of what you know is wrong...:lol:

So are you in favor of unions or not?
Non-liberal ones, yes....

Republicans: Unions have ruined everything! (except for the ones I like)
:rofl:
Conservative unions dissolve themselves....they are smart like that....
