| This cop wore MAGA behind the badge. Now his actions bring questions about how he conduct police stops. He was involved in police shootings. |
Only in the United States.
Police officers are limited in their free speech when on and off duty. They must be impartial and keep their politics at a distance. If they show up to work with political bumper stickers, it could give an impression of bias.
In the village of Forest Park, Illinois, they placed a police officer in the freezer after he conducted a traffic stop and detainment of a motorist off duty. He wore attire that confirmed support for President Donald J. Trump. He was filmed driving his private vehicle outside his jurisdiction.
A woman claims she was forcibly detained by an off-duty Forest Park police officer after a minor crash involving a curb.
The video, which has been widely shared online, shows part of the encounter. The officer has been identified as Lt. Dan Miller.
According to the social media post, the officer was driving an unmarked personal vehicle and cut the woman off in traffic before approaching her with a gun drawn and pulling her from her car.
The woman alleges she was handcuffed without the officer first checking on her condition and says he did not identify himself when asked. The post also claims the incident happened outside the officer’s jurisdiction.

| He made so many mistakes. |
Authorities have not confirmed those details.
Miller was previously involved in a 2017 on-duty shooting that left an unarmed man dead. The case later led to a lawsuit filed by the man’s family.
In a statement, Forest Park police said they are taking the allegations seriously.
"We are launching an investigation to examine what happened, and the results will be shared with the public and news media," the department said.
The officer has been placed on administrative leave pending the investigation.
It remains unclear where the incident took place.
FOX Chicago has reached out to the woman involved and is awaiting a response.
