Let me put this out there to start....
No one appreciates the First Amendment more than me.
If I did my schtick in Moscow vs. Manchester, Justin would be taking on an additional assignment as New Hampshire Today food taster.
A Bedford police officer is in hot water after he posted a commentary on Tik Tok that included a video that has the caption: "How the media/liberals want the police to be." It shows an officer in uniform and possibly in a police cruiser pretending to respond to calls and asking people not to shoot or stab people. When they don't comply, he drives away.
This officer has every right to express his views, as an individual. Not as a Bedford Police Officer.
Once you put that uniform on you are a public employee, subject to the rules and best interests of that entity.
Commentary is good.
Dialogue is better.
