Perfectly normal for cops to be meeting @VP Mike Pence with a #QAnon patch on their uniform.
Just like Stephen Miller flashing the White Power sign in The White House.
Nothing to see here.

(2,533 posts)5. I saw the Q-he has another to the upper left
Black with a long handle sickle(reaper style) & a broadaxe. I'm sure it is some white pride thing.
Just saw this is a older photo but still relevant.

Florida SWAT Officer Is Demoted After Wearing QAnon Patch Next to Mike Pence
Dec. 4, 2018
At the end of a trip to South Florida on Friday, Vice President Mike Pence posed for photos with a group of local SWAT team members who had protected him during the visit. They were shared on Twitter, where among the officers green uniforms, a red and black patch on Sgt. Matt Pattens tactical vest stood out: a bold letter Q and the phrase Question the Narrative.
The online followers of QAnon, a pro-Trump fringe movement that promotes baseless conspiracy theories about government secrets and clandestine plots, took notice and shared the photo. So did their anonymous leader, Q.
Its spreading, Q wrote.
While the movements loosely connected group of supporters embraced the moment, Sergeant Pattens employer, the Broward County Sheriffs Office, viewed it as an embarrassment. On Monday, the sheriffs office said it had reprimanded him, removed him from the SWAT team and reassigned him to a new department.

(1,770 posts)7. Went to his Twitter page (of that is what it is called?) And he really is letting loose, in a very
impressive way. I guess he had some things blocked, and he is really angry.
