Nation's largest police union endorses Trump...
With labor groups overwhelmingly behind Clinton, Trump made an aggressive play for support from the police union.
He met with top officials from the FOP at Trump Tower in May, and he has made stops on the campaign trail at the union's local chapters.
"I'm on your side 1,000 percent," Trump told an FOP chapter in North Carolina in August. "What you do is incredible."
The FOP had expressed anger at Trump's rival, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, for declining to fill out a questionnaire necessary to win the group's endorsement. The group characterized Clinton's refusal as a snub, and Canterbury referenced it in his statement Friday.
"Obviously this is an unusual election. We have a candidate who declined to seek an endorsement and a candidate without any record as an elected official," he said.
