ABC News: “A New York City police officer was suspended without pay Sunday for promoting President Trump’s reelection campaign from a loudspeaker while on patrol over the weekend. Talia Jane, a Brooklyn-based freelance reporter, tweeted that a squad car was blaring ‘Trump 2020’ from the officer’s vehicle in Flatbush Saturday night. Jane said she was sent a video of the officers in the vehicle also shouting the chant. ‘They stopped when someone started filming but couldn’t resist one more,’ she tweeted. Jane retweeted a second video from another Twitter user that showed the police vehicle promoting Trump from the loudspeaker.”
“According to the NYPD patrol guide, members on duty or in uniform are prohibited from ‘endorsing political candidates or publicly expressing personal views and opinions concerning the merits of: any political party or candidate for public office; any public policy matter or legislation pending before any government body; or any matter to be decided by a pubic election, except with the permission of the police commissioner.'”
