20. yes, but it would be a minor incident if it were an ordinary person

Oct 2020

people try to do that, or don't realize it's illegal and do it, all the time. poll workers tell people they have to cover up their political t-shirt or take their hat off. it happens everywhere, every election.

but it's orders of magnitude worse when it's a police officer (agent of the government) and when he's carrying a gun.

very different situation than when a civilian does it, or even if this same guy had done it in plain clothes and off duty and not carrying a gun.

He'll probably get suspended. TwilightZone Oct 2020 #1
