Trump blocked from speaking to NYPD: ‘Not a photo op’

New York City Police Commissioner Bill Bratton has rejected a request from the Trump campaign for the candidate to address a 3PM roll call.

On Friday morning a rep from Donald Trump’s Manhattan organization asked the city’s top cop to let the candidate speak to a 3 p.m. roll call at the NYPD Midtown North Precinct. The request came in the wake of the murders of five Dallas police officers Thursday during a protest over police shooting.

But Police Commissioner Bill Bratton strongly rejected the idea, which a police source said came from Trump’s head of security Keith Schiller.

“Our interest is staying out of the politics of the moment, and not to provide photo ops,” he told reporters. “If Mr. Trump wants to speak to me, I would be happy to brief him on what we’re doing. If Sen. Clinton wants to speak to me, I would very happy to brief her on what we’re doing. But we are not in the business of providing photo ops for our candidates.”

    I’m sure Trump will have something banal and obnoxious to say about Bratton in the next 24 hours.
    Stay tuned.

    This is typical Donald (Conman) Trump, the “Silvio Berlusconi” of the republican party. Just another big mouth billionaire who promises so much, but delivers so little because his mouth is full of his “conservative crap”! Go tweet… republican twit!

    Sometimes it takes a comedian to tell the truth. Jim Jeffries says “If you’ve ever said this sentence: ‘I like him because he’s a straight talker,’ you’re as dumb as sh*t.”
