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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
