“Predictably, the unions are howling, accusing the president of ‘politicizing cop safety.’ ‘The [Fraternal Order of Police] is the most aggressive law enforcement advocacy group in Washington, and we will be at our most aggressive in asserting the need for officer safety and officer rights in any police changes that are to be effected,’ said FOP executive director James Pasco. It’s a little disturbing to see the unions blandly assert that police have ‘rights’ to free military aircraft, grenade launchers, and turret-mounted .50-caliber machine guns. Some of those weapons can send rounds through a city block — how’s that for ‘community policing’?”
