3. Yes he should be fired!

Suspended, with pay, no doubt! Aka, a fking paid vacation.

Lock his ass up!

[dware]

11. Suspended without pay.

And lock him up for what? Violating department policies? That's not even a crime in this instance.

[SheltieLover]

13. How about misuse of department equipment

Election intetference?

How's about we treat him like a person of color?

[dware]

17. So you would lock him up for misuse of city equipment?

Ok.

[SheltieLover]

20. Absolutely!

You would not!

[dware]

22. No, i wouldn't,

but he wouldn't be a cop anymore and I would see to it that his POST cert was revoked, without it, he can't be a cop anywhere in the US.

Standing in line?

18. He did nothing wrong, so why would you expect anything to happen?

5. Pretty stupid if you're a cop.

6. Given the popularity of the NYPD, I'd say this endorsement by the police will be a net negative. nt

The NYPD News provided an update Sunday afternoon that said the officer was suspended without pay effective immediately while he was under investigation.

12. Name the asshole - he wanted to be famous:

The interaction seemed to occur in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn. Saturday was also the start of early in-person voting in New York City, with thousands of residents turning out to polling sites across the five boroughs.

Brandon Hines posted a video taken by a roommate from their apartment window, which picks up at the end of exchange documented in the other video.

“Trump 2020,” the officer said again. “Put it on YouTube, put it on Facebook. Trump 2020.”

Hines, a screenwriter who has lived in Flatbush since 2013, confirmed that he and his roommate witnessed the incident to NBC News. He heard the commotion at about 10 p.m. Saturday night and went to watch after he heard a bystander arguing with the officer.
