These law enforcement officers willing to be used as props just made the next AG's job harder by attending this fiasco. Hope you MAGA cops are all proud of yourselves.
To the police officers standing behind him right now, do you think this truly builds trust within your community? If I’m a criminal defense attorney, this would be one of the first things I’d cross examine one of these cops about before a Long Island jury and I could create… https://t.co/L4waN28aOO
