A video showed a large group of uniformed officers posing for a photo with the former president and shaking his hand at Los Angeles International Airport.

Yeah but never on an airplane, airplanes are ALLLLWWAAAYYYSS those nasty little salt-less pretzels
Wow look, it's the LASD, you know, the sheriff's dept that literally has gangs, including one called "the executioners", doing something shitty and most likely illegal.
Why am I not surprised?
Maybe they only appeared to be shaking his hand, but in fact were actually stink palming him. "Hey, Mr President, would you like a chocolate covered pretzel?"
Hatch Act violations across the board. By doing so they are saying the LAPD endorses Trump.
If Obama had stolen a bunch of top secret documents, bragged about sharing then with people who weren't allowed to see them, and subsequently been on trial for a bunch of pretty serious crimes, then yes.
Police officers posting for selfies with a criminal who's currently on trial is a bad look.
Top secret documents seem to be an issue for Biden too, granted that's a tiny fraction of the issues one could take up about Trump that aren't even a thing for Biden, but still.
I mean, the situations are completely different. Biden (and other VPs and former presidents, including Mike Pence) have found they had classified information on hand, and immediately turned them over.
Trump kept them “secret”, lied about having them, them, ignored requests to have them returned, showed them to people who didn’t have clearance, lied about having more when the first batch was taken, and apparently lost at least one, or is again lying about having some.
This is like saying a pat on the back is the same thing as being hit with a bolder and almost dying.
Let me give you two hypothetical scenarios.
I go to a store, buy some stuff, forget to scan something at the self checkout machine, and leave without paying. When I get home, I realize that I didn't pay for something, so I go back to the store, apologize to the clerk, and pay for it.
I go to a store, intentionally hide some stuff in my coat, and leave without paying. When the store realizes that I'm trying to leave without paying. When they confront me, I deny it and accuse them of having "gellis12 derangement syndrome." When they call the cops on me, I refuse to cooperate with the cops. When the cops find the stolen goods on me, I refuse to give them back. When the cops forcibly take them back, I go online to rile up an angry mob and tell them that the stolen goods weren't actually stolen because I thought about paying for them and that should be good enough, before telling the angry mob to attack the cops.
Of these two purely hypothetical scenarios, which one sounds worse?
Bruh, there was a national scandal because the man wore tan, the outrage would be worse than a "complaint" come on.
You know what the funniest thing will be to come out of the classified document scandal? Trump's German birth certificate.
