"Though the commission has the power to set the policy, it can’t enforce it."

Behold America and the problem brain dead cohorts refuse to acknowledge. The Muscle and Metal is what decides what shall happen, not the Pen and Paper

Does that mean they can't hang out with each other after hours?

Holy shit they were allowed in hate and terrorist groups?

It makes you stand out and gain promotions within the industry. It’s rather common practice

The banality of evil.
I wouldn't be surprised that plenty joined, not out of ideological conviction, but simply because it helped them network and get ahead at work.

Not that it arguably matters. You are what you do. Our actions define us.

Pretty predictable when someone like this is the head of the police union.

I can see them taking this to the Supreme Court, who then decide in a 6-3 majority that fraternization with hate groups and terrorists is protected free speech as long as it's done by police

Sure this wasn't supposed to be 1924 not 2024?

The Tribune did a 3 day front page expose on this issue a few weeks ago. Glad something came of it.
