Top officials at the biggest police union in the country are upset with Hillary Clinton, saying she snubbed them.
The leader of the National Fraternal Order of Police told The Hill that the Democrat sent a signal through her staff that she wouldnt be seeking the unions endorsement.
"It sends a powerful message. To be honest with you, I was disappointed and shocked," said Chuck Canterbury, the president of the National Fraternal Order of Police. "You would think with law enforcement issues so much in the news that even if she had disagreements with our positions, that she wouldve been willing to say that."
Clintons opponent, Donald Trump, is now actively seeking the unions support as he trumpets a law and order message on the campaign tail.
Canterbury spoke to The Hill in a telephone interview Friday, shortly after he left Trump Tower in Manhattan.
He and other leaders of the police union which says it represents 335,000 members visited with Trump on Friday morning to sound out the Republican nominee about his positions on issues of importance to law enforcement officers. Politico first reported the meeting.
The union will not be meeting with Clinton because her campaign decided not to fill out a questionnaire that is required for seeking the police union's endorsement.
"We were talking to the highest levels of the campaign, and we had all indications that she was going to return the questionnaire," Canterbury said.
"And on the deadline date we were advised that they declined."

Poor butthurt union bosses. Don’t worry. She’ll love cops when it comes time to nationalize them all to suppress the people.
Of course, there won’t be a cop union anymore since you’ll do what you’re told or you and your family can move over to other end of the gun barrels.
That’s what eating dinner with a tiger is like. Even if they promise to eat you last, they might just have more appetite than food.
Has Canterbury not been listening to her rhetoric the last few months?
She is ‘no waze tard’ on the black lives matter bus, as she tosses police under it.
She is hoping to be dubbed the first female black president, as she panders to the black community. She is trying to parallel BJ’s election strategy.
[Of course, the fact that ARMED Secret Service had to surround and rescue her from a potential attack at a small rally this week has no impact on her as to the importance of armed security (including police).]
If those Tri-Lats and Bilderbergers are such a danger to us, why haven't we killed them yet?
I pasted “Hillary ARMED Secret Service had to surround and rescue her from a potential attack at a small rally this week” into the search box. No matches. Where was this?
I’m retired LEO and now spend my time traveling the country training LEO’s. Speaking for myself I have spoken with a single officer that admits they are voting for Shillary. They feel betrayed by her and this administration.
They may not admit it, but that blue line will keep them in line.
Any military person, active or retired that votes for Clinton is a total idiot. That _itch despises the military and would like nothing better that to continue the emasculation of it that Obama has started.
I made an assumption that they are ARMED.

Ironic that the sign on her podium read: Stronger Together.
[Yeah, if you have armed guards protecting you 24-7.]
Sleep with dogs, wake up with fleas.
While not totally panning these folks, they do have responsibility.
Response: Her snub will have no effect. Her campaign is based totally upon mere assertion and total denial and it is working.
They want to Federalize policing.
“Why are they shocked? Hillary and bill have called them pigs for decades...do they not know this?”
Those were my thoughts as well.
That’s because Hillary Clinton is leader of The Cop-Killer Party.
Hillary would have been for any union except the police, i will stick to what i believe, which is i don`t like unions as i believe they are nothing but thieves.
Just because Hillary does not consider the police as friends do not mean they are friends of the Americans.
While there are many good policmen, as an institution they would do the same thing as Hitlers murdering police did, public servants thinks of their own welfare, that is why they are public servants.
Shillery doesn’t want the FOP endorsement.
I guess she thinks it would hinder her efforts to incite BLM voters, she needs high turnout among them.
Clinton Chooses Black Lives Matter Over Law Enforcement Support

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton pursued the endorsement of Black Lives Matter activists but blew off the largest police union in the United States.
After almost a year of meeting with Black Lives Matter representatives, Clinton failed to garner the support of the movements co-founder Alicia Garza, but she managed to receive the endorsement of mothers championed by the Black Lives Matter movement.
Garza recently slammed Clinton, saying the former secretary of state only uses black people for votes and photo ops, but doesnt do anything for black communities after getting elected.
Nevertheless the Clinton-Kaine campaign touts the support she received during the Democratic National Convention from mothers of the Black Lives Matter movement.

There are way more gullible BLM tin foil creatures than there are police. It’s a no brainer for her.
