President Trump is a big hit with law enforcement and has just earned the endorsement of the International Union of Police Associations – a police union with over 100K members.
According the President of the IUPA Sam Cabral, President Trump has “done more for Law Enforcement in the past two and a half years than was accomplished in the eight years that preceded his election.”
Cabral went on to say,
“Every top Democrat currently running for this office has vilified the police and made criminals out to be victims. They seem to take any union’s support for granted. Many of them still refer to the tragedy in Ferguson as a murder, despite the conclusions of every investigative inquiry to the contrary. While his candor ruffles the feathers of the left, I find it honest and refreshing. He stands with America’s Law Enforcement Officer and we will continue to stand with him.”
You got that right!
Check out the breaking news of the major police union’s endorsement of President Trump for 2020:
The Epoch Times has more to say about the IUPA's endorsement of Trump:
A police union that represents more than 100,000 officers has announced it will be endorsing President Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign, according to a press release (pdf).
The International Union of Police Associations’ (IUPA) President Sam A. Cabral said on Sept. 9 that it was backing the president’s re-election, saying that Trump had “done more for Law Enforcement in the past two and a half years than was accomplished in the eight years that preceded his election.”
Cabral said Trump had made the community safer for police officers and civilians by signing an order to provide law enforcement agencies with military equipment, directing the Attorney General to prosecute offenders who attack law enforcement, providing funding to help employ more law enforcement officers, improving police access to mental health services, and resuming federal capital punishment.
“Every top Democrat currently running for this office has vilified the police and made criminals out to be victims,” Cabral said in the statement. “They seem to take any union’s support for granted.

While his candor ruffles the feathers of the left, I find it honest and refreshing. He stands with America’s Law Enforcement Officer and we will continue to stand with him.”
Courthouse News Service also stated:
The International Union of Police Associations endorsed President Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign Monday, saying he has done more for law enforcement in the past two and a half years than former President Barack Obama had done in eight.
In a statement Monday, 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.
Trump “has even undone some of the harmful acts of his predecessor,” he said.
Carbral also noted Trump’s directing of Attorney General William Barr to develop a strategy to more aggressively prosecute criminals who attack police officers, along with resuming capital punishment for federal prisoners on death row after a two-year pause.
The police union chief said America’s national crime rate had decreased since Trump’s election, even though there are daily reports of violence and crime in “Democratic strongholds of Baltimore as well as Chicago.”
