At least three New York City police officers parked their patrol car on a crosswalk in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn Saturday night and repeatedly used the NYPD vehicle’s loudspeaker to blare: “Trump 2020!” According to the police department’s “prohibited conduct” patrol guide, officers are not allowed to endorse any specific political candidate or anyone who holds public office while in uniform or on-duty.
Multiple video angles emerged on social media showing several officers standing around the flashing police car and offering loud endorsements of President Trump’s re-election in the predominantly African American and West Indian neighborhood.
