According New York City Police Chief Bill Bratton, Donald Trump tried to hustle a photo op today with the NYPD, the afternoon after the ambush murders in Dallas. This morning as the news was unfolding, Trump's "head of security" Keith Schiller asked that Trump be granted permission to speak at a 3 p.m. roll call at the NYPD Midtown North Precinct.
Bratton rejected the idea, telling reporters the NYPD wasn't there to provide candidate photo ops.
Bratton told reporters: "Our interest is staying out of the politics of the moment, and not to provide photo ops. If Mr. Trump wants to speak to me, I would be happy to brief him on what were doing. If Sen. Clinton wants to speak to me, I would very happy to brief her on what were doing. But we are not in the business of providing photo ops for our candidates.
