Hillary Clinton is poised to meet Thursday with a group of top law enforcement leaders, including the retiring New York City police commissioner who recently said Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy scared him.
Clinton campaign aides said she will meet in New York with eight leading law enforcement leaders, including retiring commissioner Bill Bratton of New York City and his successor, James O’Neill; Charles Beck of the Los Angeles Police Department and former police chief Charles Ramsey of Philadelphia.
Other participants include law enforcement leaders from Tucson, Arizona; Seattle; Camden County, New Jersey; and Dallas County, Texas.
Bratton said in an interview earlier this month with CBS News that Trump’s “shoot from the hip” style and “lack of depth” on policy issues scared him.
Clinton’s meeting comes as Trump, the Republican nominee, has accused her of being “against the police” and vowed to restore law and order if elected president.
Aides said Clinton’s meeting had been planned for several weeks and would build upon her outreach to law enforcement during the campaign.
Following a deadly shooting of police officers in Dallas, Clinton urged Americans to try to walk in the shoes of law enforcement and Democrats had law enforcement officials speak at their summer convention, including Ramsey.

Against the police? Really, does trump do anything except lie?
Why don’t I see Al Sharpton’s name amongst the invitees? He has been the real police commissioner for DeBlasio since day one. Bratton was just a useless puppet. Obama hails Al as the #1 expert in the country on policing and race relations. The fact that Hillary has not called upon the expertise of the Reverend, just goes to prove that she is a typical evil white bigoted racist Southerner, just like the Republicans!
mr bratton, may i ask you a question? donald trump’s presidential candidacy “scares you”, but hillary clinton’s presidential candidacy DOESN’T “scare you”??
Bill Bratton was the Police Chief here in Los Angeles before he moved back to New York. He is married to Left wing looney television commentator Rikki Klieman who’s Judaism ended in her early childhood. She married this Irish Goy Bratton and doesn’t identify with Judaism. They are a perfect fit for the Hillary campaign.
