Minnesota’s Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) is considering better defining what type of “non-criminal” conduct or activities could possibly prohibit someone from serving in law enforcement, according to board leaders.
…
“There’s always a fine line between what an employee’s off-duty behavior is or groups associated with or things they say on social media, where does that cross the line into employment,” POST Board Executive Director Erik Misselt said.

This was exactly what the Chavez government did to almost every police force in the country before absorbing them into the Policia Nacional Bolivariana. Of course, it was the Government who defined what positions and thoughts were contrary to the good order of the Nation which was pretty much anything that did no scream Socialism and it was applied to both new recruits and serving officers. Those who were smart and enough time, went for retirement just like a dear old friend of mine. The rest either were removed or were able to hide their true sentiments because they needed to have an income and provide for their families.

As you can imagine, a police force driven by the politics of socialism is quite lousy in dealing with crime, specially when they are used for political repression and the criminal element has been an ally of the government doing the dirty deeds for them. The result is that Venezuela was (and probably still is, but the gov is fully in control of the stats and lying) the second most violent country in the world.

And don’t believe that Minnesota will not investigate current-serving officers, specially combing through their social media just to make examples out of the “worst” cases and scare the rest. You would hope Police Unions would stand against it, but I believe they will be royally ignored. No cops? hell, their base will be ecstatic!
