So much for freedom of speech.
Via Fox News:
A Michigan police officer was suspended Sunday with pay after he was seen off-duty driving a pickup truck bearing a Confederate flag around a group protesting Donald Trump’s election as president.
Traverse City police Chief Jeff O’Brien announced the suspension of officer Michael Peters. O’Brien added that an internal investigation will begin Monday to determine whether Peters broke department rules.
“He is not working as a police officer,” O’Brien told the Traverse City Record-Eagle. “I do not condone his actions.”
O’Brien confirmed that a photo showed Peters at the rally Friday. The Confederate battle flag is seen by many people as a symbol of hatred and intimidation of African-Americans following the U.S. Civil War and the freeing of blacks from slavery.
