New policy will prohibit Chicago police officers from joining hate or extremist groups | Category: General Source
mylifeforthehorde says “The Chicago Police Department now has 60 days to respond to the policy before it officially goes into effect.” So not actually implemented yet
Swampwolf42 says Naturally the civilized response of “well, obviously cops shouldn’t belong to hate groups!” will be shouted down by people objecting to this “gummint overreach.”
montemanm1 says Okay, but who gets to determine what is a hate or extremist group? Even cops have 1st Amendment rights.

Mother_Dragonfruit90 says Good luck with that! Seems like the actual policy is just “stop being idiots about your affiliations with hate and extremist groups”
