Sheriff Timothy B. Howard did not violate the Erie County Code of Ethics when he wore his uniform to a pro-President Trump rally, the county's Ethics Board says.
...
The decision, reached this week, was sent to the five people who filed complaints after Howard on April 1 donned official garb for a rally with political overtones in Niagara Square. The event, one of a series of pro-Trump "Spirit of America" rallies staged across the country, was sponsored locally by the Tea Party and the Shooters Committee on Political Education, which resists gun-control measures. |

| If a sheriff or chief wearing his uniform to a political event is illegal, there are thousands of anti-gun police leaders who are guilty of it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. — Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1. |
