Police union president apologizes for Halloween photo of Clinton ‘arrest’

Harold MacGilveray, the president of the police union in Medford, Massachusetts, came under fire for a Halloween stunt in which he posed with a person in a Halloween costume wearing a Hillary Clinton mask and dressed in a jumpsuit labeled “inmate” while wearing handcuffs.

The pictures of the Halloween stunt were reportedly taken at Haines Square Annual Fall Festival in West Medford and were posted to the Medford Police Patrolman’s Association’s Facebook page along with the message “Making America Great Again in West Medford Square!”

MacGilveray later apologized, telling the Boston Globe, “These were Halloween costumes. It was meant totally as a joke. I apologize if this offended anyone in any way. I never expected this sort of reaction. It was poor judgment on my part.”

Medford MASS did this?

Apology not accepted. It was a misogynist attack on a minority that just so happens to be our candidate for President. Right out of Giuliani's playbook. You give a whole new meaning to the the word pig! Harold is the President of the effing Police Union in Medford. The man needs to be fired.
