Even by Florida standards, this is pretty brazen stuff. The cop faces disciplinary action, though what that is remains to be seen.

A Miami police officer has been accused of intimidating voters at an early polling place, where he was pictured in uniform wearing a Trump 2020 face mask. The Miami police chief and mayor both called the officer's actions "unacceptable," and the officer faces disciplinary action.
Steve Simeonidis, the chairman of the Miami-Dade Democrats, tweeted a photo of the officer on Tuesday as he was at a polling place inside the Stephen P. Clark Government Center in Miami. The photo shows the officer in full uniform — including his badge and gun — wearing a coronavirus face mask that appears to say "No more bullsh**" underneath the "Trump 2020" logo.
Simeonidis called the incident "city-funded voter intimidation," and said the officer should be suspended immediately.

The City is promising he'll be "disciplined." Waiting....
I have spoken to Chief Colina and we agree that the officer’s behavior is unacceptable. This was a violation of departmental policy.
He is under investigation and disciplinary measures will be taken.— Mayor Francis Suarez (@FrancisSuarez) October 20, 2020
