The NYPD cop who blared “Trump 2020” over a patrol-car loudspeaker in Brooklyn on Saturday has been suspended without pay, the Police Department said Sunday.
“Suspended without pay; The police officer who is under investigation for using a department vehicle’s loud speaker for political purposes has been suspended, effective immediately,” the department tweeted.
The officer was caught on two videos repeating “Trump 2020’’ over the loudspeaker of his squad car in Flatbush on Saturday night.
A guy who was videotaping him snapped back, “Go f–k yourself, you f–king fascist” — prompting the cop to bark back over his loudspeaker, “Trump 2020. Put it on YouTube, put it on Facebook. Trump 2020.”
It is against department rules for officers to express political views or endorse candidates while on duty — and condemnation for the cop was swift from Mayor Bill de Blasio and Police Commissioner Dermot Shea.
