North Carolina Democratic Senate hopeful has portrayed herself as a friend of law enforcement

The family of a slain North Carolina police officer is blasting Cheri Beasley 25 years after she helped defend two cop-killing brothers, saying the Democratic Senate hopeful is “for the criminals and not for the law officers.”

Beasley in 1998 served as one of the “key defense attorneys” for Tilmon and Kevin Golphin, brothers who one year before the trial killed two North Carolina police officers during a traffic stop that came after they robbed a loan agency at gunpoint.
