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

Racists !
The hits just keep on coming for the Dems.
This is great but it would be wise to check and see how much money and to who their union donated money. It has been my experience that union officials almost 100% donate to democrats.
Which goes to show the union officials do not necessarily represent the same goals as the rank and file.
Great news for Trump. Now he needs the NY Unions to endorse him. That will be the straw that breaks Hillary’s back.
I’d hoped to see this one. It’s gonna be ash-tray city at the Clinton campaign headquarters today...
This is absolutely huge. Blue lives matter!! Go TRUMP!!
Blue Lives Matter!

But it’s the rank and file who vote,and there are lots of them.
.
This is a YUGE endorsement. Lots of LE votes for Trump out there.
Awesome endorsement from this big basket of honorables! They didn’t endorse Romney or Obama last time around.
I hope trump accepts this endorsement in person - the optics would be powerful
Thin blue line bump!
I hope NYPD endorses Trump the day of the first debate...would love to see that announced on national TV and watch Hillary’s reaction!
Put the police union into the basket of deplorables!! Along with the Navy seals and all the generals that endorsed him this morning. That basket is getting very large...
They supported Clinton over Dole in 96’. Labor issues. Playing both sides. Ph—k them.
RACISTS!!!
You’re right - more good news!!!
The BLM convention in Philly was the tipping point for the FOP.
Yes, and Hillary can counter it with Colin Kaepernick’s endorsement!
Snark!
