Bradley J Moon, a 30-year-old Washington State Police officer, was sacked for putting an 'anti-Biden' sticker on his police cruiser. As per reports, Moon was removed from service for violating the city and the department's rules by engaging in prohibitory speech.
Moon's sacking came after a seven-month-long investigation after he was spotted driving the cruiser with the 'Let's Go Brandon' sticker on it. 'Let's GO Brandon' is a term used by Republicans following an internet meme, which means 'F*** Joe Biden.' When he was asked by his supervisors about the sticker, he had reportedly told them that he was unaware of its political implications.
As per a report by The Daily Mail, the officer claimed during the probe that the sticker in question was put up in support of a fellow officer's son after the latter suffered a medical episode. Though the child had recovered from the ailment, the sticker had remained in the cruiser and Moon did not get s chance to remove it. The investigation into the incident was completed in May 2023.
