Current Events > Police unions furious at NYPD for suspending cops who blared 'Trump 2020!'

(+) Yeah! (+)

The Sergeants Benevolent Association has accused NYPD top brass of a double standard after an officer was suspended for blaring Trump 2020 over a patrol-car loudspeaker while his boss was praised for taking a knee with Black Lives Matter protesters.

The NYPD has a history of officers making political & outside the norm statements & ignoring it, the SBA tweeted Sunday amid the investigation into Saturdays incident in Brooklyn.

Suspending this officer is unnecessary & way over the top. Chief of Department took a knee with protestors no disciplinary action was issued, the SBA said of Terence Monahan.
The union then took even more direct aim at Monahan, retweeting his claim that officers have to remain apolitical along with a New York Post photo of him taking a knee with George Floyd protesters on June 1.

Whats the status of this investigation? Oh wait double standard white shirt immunity! the SBA tweeted.
Terence you said nothing when Captains & Chiefs took a knee with violent protesters who injured members of the NYPD. You say nothing to those who sing & dance in uniform.
Now your little itsy-bitsy balls are in DeBlasios palm & you tweet nonsense. Relax & take a knee! the union raged.

Monahan had joined Police Commissioner Dermot Shea as well as Mayor Bill de Blasio in condemning videos that showed the officer repeatedly saying Trump 2020 in Flatbush on Saturday night.
The officer, whom police sources identified as Arthur Becerra of the 70th Precinct, was suspended without pay Sunday.

The SBA said officers are rightfully supporting the president.
The Democratic Party has abandoned police officers, encouraged violence and lawlessness. People are being murdered in Democratic run cities, the union wrote, tagging President Trump as well as his sons Eric and Don Jr.

Wow this is embarrasing

1. A police union not caring about cops blaring political statements out of squad cars.
2. Pretending this is the same thing as kneeling.
3. A union being so openly blatantly pro Trump.
4. Those cops should be fired, not suspended.

It's like the cops want the public to turn against them.... No one should be defending cops driving around blaring political statements from Squad Cars...

All cops

oh wow, a public sector union that I agree needs to be disbanded and reformed

Fuck, i might as well be a conservative now

Well at least they're making an effort to endear themselves with the highly pro-Trump community of New York City

What if they were pro-Biden?

The cops should be fired if they are blaring "Biden 2020" out of their squad cars too.

It's grossly pathetic and unprofessional

In their free time they can support whatever the fuck they want.
