Trump Promises Cops He’ll Give Them Military Weapons If Elected
Trump met with the Akron chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police, a union that has not yet endorsed a presidential candidate. He reportedly vowed to be “a cheerleader” for police if elected president, and said he would supply them with military weapons currently unavailable to them.
After protests surrounding police violence in Ferguson, Missouri, last year, President Barack Obama banned battlefield equipment, including grenade launchers, high-caliber weapons and tracked armored vehicles. Trump said it was "ridiculous" that police didn’t have access to combat resources.
