...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s reelection in the organization’s first-ever endorsement of a presidential candidate.

In remarks posted online Friday, Jeff Pearson, chief of the Satellite Beach Police Department and head of the association, said he was "honored to announce our endorsement" of the president.

"Time and time again, President Trump has demonstrated his unwavering support for law enforcement and for the men and women that risk their lives to protect the peace," Pearson said.

"Just this year so far, 216 law enforcement officers in the United States have died in the line of duty," he continued, noting the figure is "a 93 percent increase from" 2019.

"We salute President Trump for his commitment to honoring our nation’s fallen law enforcement officers and remembering their sacrifice," Pearson continued. "President Trump’s support of the law enforcement is unmatched, and he continues supporting law enforcement by ensuring we have the tools, the training, and the information that we need to protect our communities."

"While other politicians are opening attacking law enforcement, President Trump signed the Mental Health and Wellness Act to provide essential services" for police, he continued, adding that Trump "has done more for police" than any previous president.

The president tweeted his appreciation for the endorsement, noting, "I was honored to receive the first ever Presidential Endorsement from the Florida Police Chiefs Association. Thank you, I will NEVER let you down!"
