New Jersey’s largest police union endorses Trump as lawmakers weigh more policing reforms
New Jersey’s largest police union has endorsed President Donald Trump for re-election, as lawmakers and state officials continue to debate policing reforms in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
The New Jersey State Policemen’s Benevolent Association, which represents about 33,000 of the state’s approximately 36,000 full-time officers, made the announcement Tuesday.
PBA President Pat Colligan said he was concerned Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, “isn’t in charge of his campaign,” and in the pocket of groups hostile to police officers. Biden had ignored calls from the National Association of Police Organizations, Colligan said, despite a decades-long relationship between the former vice president and the union coalition.
“I’m not going to say we don’t need change,” Colligan told NJ Advance Media Thursday, but “I’m concerned some of the ideas that are being put out there will profoundly affect policing.”
Union officials met with Trump and Vice President Mike Pence late last month.
Large unions tend toward endorsing Democrat cantidates. For them to meet with President Trump and then switch sides shows that they are profoundly unhappy with what the Democrat party is doing. As I said, this is big.
