A uniformed Miami police officer who wore a “Trump 2020” face mask at a polling site on Tuesday will be disciplined after a Democrat accused him of voter intimidation in a now-viral image posted online.

An image of the officer, Daniel Ubeda, wearing the pro-Donald Trump mask that also said “No more bullshite,” was shared widely on social media after Steve Simeonidis, the chairman of the Miami-Dade County Democratic Party, saw the officer at the early voting site.

The city of Miami and the Miami Police Department do not support or endorse any candidate,” he said, adding that Ubeda’s “actions have violated departmental policy and he will be disciplined.”

“A police officer is supposed to be impartial,” Suárez added. “Irrespective of who the person was, whatever sign it would have been, it would’ve been problematic.”





Voter intimidation?

While this is obviously not voter intimidation, you still can't do that as a LEO.

He can be impartial but he knows even the public can't wear political garb to vote.

I thought it was common knowledge that you can't wear any candidate materials at a polling site. Cop screwed up and is in the wrong.

Yeah government workers aren't allowed to publicly endorse any candidate. It's in the rules you sign when you are hired.
