Cops in political ads advocating for either side... [View all]

does anyone think this is at the very least unethical? Could it be illegal?

Happening in Florida with Wayne Ivey (and others), a county sheriff in Brevard County, supporting Rubio and trashing Demings. It's infuriating, especially because I cannot stand either Rubio or Ivey.

Counter-counter-counter punch: New Marco Rubio ad continues policing attack

Rubio’s newest spot also shakes his endorsements in Demings’ face, displaying them in text as Rubio approves the message. He’s been endorsed by 55 of Florida’s 67 sheriffs, the Fraternal Order of Police and the Police Benevolent Association, though all of them either are Republicans or usually Republican allies.
