Trump Endorsed By Police Union After Proposing Muslim Ban

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump received the endorsement of a New England union that represents police and corrections officers Thursday evening, and said that, as president, he would call for the death penalty for any person who kills a cop.

The endorsement from the New England Police Benevolent Association comes as Trump remains under scrutiny for his call to ban Muslims from entering the United States “until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.” The proposal has been panned as xenophobic and un-American by many of Trump’s rivals, Republican leaders and others around the world.

Executive board members who attended a closed-door meeting to cast their votes said that Trump’s comments had come up briefly in their discussion. But they said that most of the conversation had centered on his past comments in support of police.
