The Chicago Police Department will reprimand two officers seen taking a knee and raising their fists

The problem is not that the officers took a knee.
The problem is not that the officers raised their fist in the racist gesture of 'Black Power'.
The problem is that they did so IN UNIFORM.

Military members are also prohibited from making political or otherwise gestures / protests while wearing their uniform. When in uniform the members represent the United States / US military. In the same way, police officers, at least in Chicago, can not engage in protests and controversial issues while in uniform. They can do so all they want when in civilian clothes on their own time.

What if they gave a Nazi salute, that just a reprimand too?

Interesting question------has it ever happened? Since we were at war with Germany----it could be called
TREASON------in uniform makes it kinda "AGGRAVATED"

I think that gets them promoted.

Hey. They investigated and totally cleared him. No evidence of any Nazi beliefs or activities.

So there. Anyone want to bet how long before he is the next Chief of Police?

I wonder if the job will be renamed Obergruppenfürer?
