The nation's largest police union on Friday endorsed Donald Trump for president, lauding his commitment to police officers.
The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) gave the GOP presidential nominee its endorsement after he received support from more than two-thirds of the group's national board.
"[Trump] has seriously looked at the issues facing law enforcement today. He understands and supports our priorities and our members believe he will make America safe again," said Chuck Canterbury, the FOP's national president.
The Fraternal Order of Police was founded in 1915 by two Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania patrol officers, Martin Toole and Delbert Nagle. They and 21 other members of the Pittsburgh Police met on May 14, 1915, establishing the Fraternal Order of Police its first local, Fort Pitt Lodge #1.
During the 1960s the FOP opposed the creation of police review boards, spearheaded by Robert F. Kennedy, at one point describing them as a "sinister movement against law enforcement". The FOP also clashed with the ACLU on the issue of police brutality, seeing it as a "liberal attempt to discredit law enforcement". The Order was "heartened by Richard Nixon's emphasis on law and order", though it remained strictly apolitical.
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.
In the late 1970s, the Order's headquarters were located in Indianapolis, Indiana. The national organization has three offices: the Labor Services Division in Columbus, Ohio, the Steve Young Law Enforcement Legislative Advocacy Center in Washington, D.C., and the Grand Lodge "Atnip-Orms Center" National Headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee.

"our members believe he will make America safe again,"
What does he mean by that? Again compared to what timeframe of American history?

Statements like that are not to be taken seriously on face value.
Albinos are not completely stupid, they know that Trump is an idiot and a Buffoon. But they don't care, this is not about good governance, it's about Albino Power.
Yes, this is an Albino power play. Interestingly, the last time the Albinos felt the need for a power play, it was because of another Clinton - Bill.
The Albinos hated him because he placed too many Blacks in mid-level governmental positions, thereby ensuring that they were likely to stay in government.

I'm not sure if it's xenophobia as white had problems with other whites from Italian,jews,Irish, Russians,which is weird because the first explorers to the Americas were from the Mediterranean and they been living with Indians and Africans upon the second expedition.

You are incorrectly combining people and experiences.
The first explorers were interested in treasure and wealth only. Please keep in mind that King Ferdinand was a Mulatto.
The modern Albino American is overwhelmingly of British and German extraction. In Franklin's words "The lovely White and Red".
