Trump wins endorsement from Fraternal Order of PoliceBy LOUIS NELSON 09/16/16 02:12 PM EDT
The Fraternal Order of Police endorsed Donald Trump for president on Friday, praising the Republican nominees real commitment to law enforcement.
Trump met with the 33,000-member police union in early August and its endorsement bolsters his claim that he is the law and order candidate. The orders national president, Chuck Canterbury, said Hillary Clinton did not seek his organizations endorsement.
