A Miami police officer may face disciplinary consequences after he was photographed wearing a mask promoting President Donald Trump inside an early voting site while in uniform.
The photo appears to show Miami police officer Daniel Ubeda dressed in blue police uniform and donning a blue, white and red face mask that reads “Trump 2020” and what appear to be the words, “No More Bullshit” emblazoned under it.

This is city funded voter intimidation.

The image was shared on Twitter by a Miami-Dade County Democratic official who called it “city funded voter intimidation.”
“Ubeda should be suspended immediately,” the county’s Democratic Chairman Steve Simeonidis said in a caption alongside the photo.
While Simeonidis has said the photo was taken inside a polling place at the county government center, it is not clear whether or not the officer was on duty at the time.
The news comes after voters wearing shirts that featuring the words “Black Lives Matter” and “I Can’t Breathe,” were turned away from polls by a since-fired North Memphis poll worker in Tennessee on Friday. Both cases appear to be escalating attempts at voter intimidation in an election where President Donald Trump has intensified what some experts have suggested are threats of violence, calling on his supporters to act as “poll watchers” against who they see as potentially cheating Democrats.
Without sharing further details about the consequences for Ubeda, Miami Police Chief Jorge Colina issued a statement Tuesday saying, “This behavior is unacceptable, a violation of departmental policy, and is being addressed immediately.”
Yet another crooked cop.
At this very moment he is receiving an invitation to be Trump’s guest at the debate Thursday night.

WTF is wrong with you? Take the out of the article. MOTHERFUCKER IS IN UNIFORM. Why are you inventing a supposed issue…one that’s really not an issue at all…to apologize for this shit and give them an out?
Honestly, that mask works just as well as an attack on Trump, especially since he’s wearing a dreaded mask at all which only reminds people that Trump’s a sociopathic idiot who’s trying to kill us all because he doesn’t understand what his job is and still thinks he’s on a reality TV show.
Trump 2020! No More Bullshit! Vote for Sleepy Joe and make politics boring again!
The guy can be in uniform, of course, but it’s clear that he’s inside the polling location. Wearing that mask is a sign of electioneering and should be dealt with on those grounds alone.
