Five police officers have come forward to support one of Donald Trump’s latest claims.
Trump said recently that police officers in London are scared in communities that are mostly made up of Muslims.
“We have places in London and other places that are so radicalized that police are afraid of their own lives,” he said on MSNBC.
Scotland Yard slammed the comment, saying “he couldn’t be more wrong.
And Home Secretary Theresa May rejected the claims, insisting: “The police in London are not afraid to go out and police the streets.”
But these five cops don’t agree.
“Trump’s not wrong,” one officer told the Daily Mail. “He pointed out something that is plainly obvious, something which I think we aren’t as a nation willing to own up to.”
Another officer added that he and other law enforcement members are afraid they will become targets of terrorism, especially considering they’ve gotten a “dire warning” from their bosses about wearing a uniform, “even in my own car.”
