LOWELL -- The executive director of the New England Police Benevolent Association is condemning reports suggesting a link to the union after two people dressed as Ku Klux Klan members were photographed holding a sign supporting Donald Trump and the union.
Executive Director Jerry Flynn, a retired Lowell police officer, condemned the KKK and categorically denied that anyone from the hate group is associated with the union after photographs emerged from a Nevada caucus location Tuesday night showing two men in KKK robes holding a sign expressing support for Trump and the union.
"The New England Police Benevolent Association supports Trump! We support them," said a sign held by one of the men in Klan robes in a photograph that was widely shared on social media.
Flynn said in a letter that, as the largest law-enforcement labor organization in New England, the NEPBA has members that are as racially diverse as the United States itself, including married, single, gay, straight and even transgender members.
