http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Police-apologize-for-Trump-sticker-visible-inside-6887352.phpHartford police have apologized after a photograph circulating on social media shows a Donald Trump sticker affixed to a laptop inside a police cruiser.
Deputy Chief Brian J. Foley in a statement Sunday called the application of the sticker "irresponsible."
He says the sticker has since been removed and the matter will be investigated internally.
Foley says the department was alerted to the sticker Saturday morning.
The photo shows that the Trump sticker was clearly visible through the cruiser's windshield. Police did not identify to whom the cruiser belongs.
Foley says the officer was "counseled on the critical importance of remaining neutral and impartial." He says the department reminds all officers to remain "politically neutral."

(13,855 posts)Has a large (like 6' X 4') Trump sign in his front yard, which is certainly his right, and he rides by my house every day and sees the "Palmetto Blue - SC Democrats" sign in my yard.
Two of my neighbors, one house strong Clinton and one strong Sanders, have told me they are reluctant to put up signs because of him. Me and the cop are white; neighbors are black so I won't argue with them on this. I'm not nearly as likely as they are to suffer any consequences.

(8,352 posts)During the last election, the president of our property owners association had a big Romney/Ryan sign on his lawn. So, my daughter and I did the only thing we could.
We took it.
Any other laws that shouldn't apply to you?
good one! Have a great day!
*ETA the president is our good friend, Jerry. He laughed. He knew he wasn't allowed to have the sign. But I do like your idea about laws that don't apply to me. I'll research that and get back to you

He should be fired if he refused to take it off.

Got to keep the rabble in line and keep protecting and serving the interests of the rich, of course.
