Following a meeting of the group's national board where two-thirds voted to support GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, the largest police union—Fraternal Order of Police—announced its endorsement. Chuck Canterbury, the FOP's national president, called the choice "an easy decision. The contrast between the candidates is as stark as any we've ever seen. Trump is for law and order. He supports civilized behavior and public safety. Mrs. Clinton appears to have sided with the enemies of these values."
In contrast to Trump's avid courting of the police union, Hillary Clinton disdained "to stoop so low as to try to curry favor with the armed thugs that are gunning down unarmed black men across the nation. They invited me to answer their 'candidate's questionnaire,' but I refused to play their game. It is the police union that is out of step with all the other major labor organizations that have endorsed me. It is a decision that they will come to regret after November."
The fact that FOP endorsed Hillary's husband Bill in his 1996 race against Republican Bob Dole didn't faze the candidate. "It was a different organization back then," Hillary contended. "They shared America's values. Since then they've been infiltrated by some of this country's worst elements—racists and gun nuts who actually support arming citizens for self defense. Their reign of terror in the minority community will come to an end when I'm elected."
In related news, Clinton vowed to stop raids and round-ups of illegal immigrants once she moves into the Oval Office. "The persecution of people whose only crime was breaking laws that shouldn't exist must cease," she declared. "Republicans in Congress will be given the opportunity to do the right thing and once Donald Trump is rejected by the voters I'm pretty sure they will come around and legislate a broad amnesty. However, my patience won't be endless. If legislation isn't passed within my first 100 days I will follow the lead of out great President Obama and issue the executive orders necessary to get the job done."
