A Miami police officer may face disciplinary consequences after he was photographed wearing a mask promoting President Donald Trump inside an early voting site while in uniform.
"While Simeonidis has said the photo was taken inside a polling place at the county government center, it is not clear whether or not the officer was on duty at the time. "
WTF is wrong with you? Take the out of the article. MOTHERFUCKER IS IN UNIFORM. Why are you inventing a supposed issue…one that’s really not an issue at all…to apologize for this shit and give them an out?
Honestly, that mask works just as well as an attack on Trump, especially since he’s wearing a dreaded mask at all which only reminds people that Trump’s a sociopathic idiot who’s trying to kill us all because he doesn’t understand what his job is and still thinks he’s on a reality TV show.
Trump 2020! No More Bullshit! Vote for Sleepy Joe and make politics boring again!
The guy can be in uniform, of course, but it’s clear that he’s inside the polling location. Wearing that mask is a sign of electioneering and should be dealt with on those grounds alone.
Absolutely! On/Off Duty status is immaterial. If they are wearing the uniform they are representing the Force and as such are “On Duty” for all intents and purposes. His MO is intimidation.
102.101 Sheriff and other officers not allowed in polling place.—No sheriff, deputy sheriff, police officer, or other officer of the law shall be allowed within the polling place without permission from the clerk or a majority of the inspectors, except to cast his or her ballot. Upon the failure of any of said officers to comply with this provision, the clerk or the inspectors or any one of them shall make an affidavit against such officer for his or her arrest.
While this is no doubt an attempt to intimidate, and I agree with those that it doesn’t matter whether or not he was on duty because the result is the same, I have to ask again: Who does this work on? What American citizen was going to walk into their private voting booth and vote for Biden but didn’t because of this 5’4 asshole? They’re trying so hard, but the people most likely to be intimidated (older folks of color) have been through exponentially worse in order to vote and the youngins aren’t afraid of a damn thing. And Generation X is too nihilistic to give a good damn.
