A career of the police chief in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has been cut short after his wife supported President Trump in a comment to a Facebook post.
49-year-old Jarrad Berkihiser, faced an ultimatum from the mayor, Democrat Danene Sorace, to either retire or be fired, and eventually chose the former.
The account of this controversy comes from until recently the head of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) for Lancaster, John Fiorill, who said Berkihiser had turned to the organization for advice once he was asked to step down on account of his wife’s opinion expressed online.
On September 27, Kristy Berkihiser posted, and then deleted a comment in response to a Trump campaign volunteer who happens to be her friend, and who shared that the president was respectful and thankful to police officers during a rally at Harrisburg Airport.

Thanks for the ping - the mayor should resign.
The Chief gave two very blunt interviews on local TV stations defending the officer, who, when confronted by a running, knife wielding subject appropriately neutralized the threat.
“If we’d have sent a social worker there would have been a dead social worker.”
TRUE—but so outside the libtard narrative....
Over 300 comments on FacePlant. 98% in favoe of the Chief.
He should sue...Federal court...millions of dollars!
