New England police union endorses Donald Trump

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has received the endorsement of a New England union that represents police and corrections officers.

The New England Police Benevolent Association's executive board voted Thursday evening to support the billionaire businessman, who has been leading opinion surveys.

The backing comes as Trump remains under scrutiny for his call for a ban all Muslims from entering the United States "until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on."

The proposal has been panned as xenophobic and un-American by many of Trump's rivals, Republican leaders and others around the world.

Union executive director Jerry Flynn says the benevolent association represents nearly 5,000 members from about 200 locals across the region.

"Executive board members who attended a closed-door meeting to cast their votes said that Trump's comments had come up briefly in their discussion. But they said that most of the conversation had centered on his past comments in support of police."

Not.

"Police" aren't the problem.. it's the violent ones in the depts. who kill and ask questions later.. these geniuses can't figure that out.

Trump will disband their union 10 minutes after the election, if he wins.
