Police Group Says It Was Smeared in Trump-KKK Demonstration
The New England Police Benevolent Association would like to set the record straight about a pro-Donald Trump demonstration by people in Ku Klux Klan robe: They police group had nothing to do with it.
During Tuesday’s Republican presidential balloting in Nevada, people turned up in Klan robes pledging support for Trump. One bore a sign that read: “The New England Police Benevolent Association support Trump! We support them!”
“I can assure you of one thing: we don’t have any members that are members of the Ku Klux Klan,” the group’s executive director, Jerry Flynn, told TheWrap on Monday.

Tony Archinski, the NEPBA’s director of administration, told TheWrap on Wednesday that the group was as baffled by the protest as everyone else.
“I have no idea who is in those pictures,” he said. “I think that somewhere along the line, someone picked up that our membership endorsed Trump, and they’re making use of that for their purposes.”
