San Antonio cops face discipline for wearing Trump hats to greet candidate while on duty
San Antonio cops face discipline for wearing Trump hats to greet candidate while on duty
http://www.rawstory.com/2016/10/san-antonio-cops-face-discipline-for-wearing-trump-hats-to-greet-candidate-while-on-duty/
Several San Antonio police officers who wore Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” hats during his stop in Texas on Tuesday face discipline for violating a policy against endorsing a candidate while on duty, the police chief said.
More than a dozen officers in uniform wore the red caps with Trump’s slogan as they stood with the candidate at an airport, in a video posted on Trump’s Twitter page.
San Antonio Mayor Ivy Taylor later said on Facebook she was “deeply disappointed” by the display and Police Chief William McManus said in a statement the officers showed “poor judgment.”
“I expect them to know better than to give the appearance of endorsing a candidate while on duty and in uniform, regardless of the political campaign or the candidate,” McManus said.
