The International Union of Police Associations officially announced their endorsement for Trump, praising him for doing "more for law enforcement in the past two and a half years than Obama had done in eight."
In a statement, IUPA President Sam Cabral said Trump made communities safer by signing executive orders to equip police with life-saving military equipment, championing the Mental Health and Wellness Act – which improved police access to mental health services – and providing funds to hire more law enforcement officers.
Cabral also criticized Democrats for "vilifying the police" and turning "criminals into victims," and said he found Trump's candor "honest and refreshing."
“Every top Democrat currently running for this office has vilified the police and made criminals out to be victims. They seem to take any unions' support for granted," said Cabral.
