"The fact that Beyoncé used this year's Super Bowl to divide Americans by promoting the Black Panthers and her antipolice message shows how she does not support law enforcement," said Javier Ortiz, president of the Miami Fraternal Order of Police, in a letter on Wednesday.
The union has about 1,300 members, Ortiz told BuzzFeed News in an email.
