Police Benevolent Association Breaks With Tradition, Endorses President Trump’s Re-Election Campaign

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — In light of New York City’s recent surge in shootings, one police union is endorsing President Donald Trump‘s re-election campaign.

They say law and order need to be restored, but African-American officers say the endorsement will make their jobs even harder. The union endorsement of President Trump is causing an uproar among some of the rank and file of the NYPD.

It’s an uncharacteristic endorsement of a president by the Police Benevolent Association, which represents 24,000 NYPD officers. “I cannot remember when we’ve ever endorsed for the office of President of the United States until now. That’s how important this is,” PBA President Pat Lynch said Friday.
