Candidate: Police Union Endorsed My Opponent Because I Took On Bad Cops

A Broward County Courts candidate took on the police union this week, charging it endorsed her opponent because she prosecuted bad cops.

“They didn’t give me an interview. They didn’t call me about the endorsement. I imagine it was because I prosecuted police officers,” judicial candidate Adriana Alcalde told the Pembroke Pines Century Village Democratic Club’s lunchtime meeting on Thursday.

The Broward County Police Benevolent Association endorsement recently went to Alcalde’s opponent Betsy Benson.

Benson was an unusual choice for the police union. She is a veteran public defender, representing the individuals charged by the police with a crime.

Faith Based Events

“I can only believe that they (PBA) don’t like it because I prosecuted officers who broke the law,” former sex crimes prosecutor Alcalde told the group.
