Pennsylvania state troopers under investigation for posing for Trump photo while in uniform

Dozens of state troopers are being investigated after they posed in uniform for a photo with former President Donald Trump, which may have violated rules about troopers taking part in political activities without first getting permission.

Penn Live reports that Democratic Gov. Tom Wolfe has launched a probe into the photo, which Trump has made the featured picture on his Truth Social profile even though it was supposed to have been a private photo.

As Penn Live notes, the photo raises questions "about whether the photo violated department policies that require approval for officers to 'engage in any activity while in uniform, off duty, without the prior approval of their Commander/Director.'"

A separate policy states that state troopers "shall not use their position for political influence," although it is questionable whether the photo taken with the former president really violated this rule.

Penn Live states that Gov. Wolf is investigating the original circumstances, and meanwhile Chump has deleted the photo from his "Truth Social" account. This photo sure looks like it was planned in advance.

downwards and his index finger and thumb, making the letter "O." But as we all know, he gets confused doing anything that involves physical coordination. Things like walking down a ramp, wiping his ass without getting the toilet paper stuck on his shoe...

thinks like that.

The difference is that Trump is an asshole and released the picture. Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, rock stars, athletes cops get pictures with all of them. Only Trump is a big enough duche to release the photo.
