It's important to remember, "Abuse and bias" is a feature of conservatives, not a bug.
"We only hire criminals" -official motto of the florida state guard
They're being vetted for those exact traits. That's the point of brownshirts.
During a two-year inquiry into Ortiz’s conduct, witnesses alleged that Ortiz engaged in “pattern of abuse and bias against minorities, particularly African-Americans”, and previously cyber-stalked and doxxed people who complained against him or other officers, the Herald reported.
Sounds like a perfect fit for ole' Ronnie-boy.
Ortiz’s hiring raises additional concerns as the Florida state guard is reportedly being trained as an armed, combat-ready militia under DeSantis’s command versus a disaster relief agency, according to military veteran recruits who have quit the state guard training program.
Fascist fuck is looking forward to brutalizing anyone he doesn't like.
And so the recruitment for his brownshirts begins.
