    Florida man strikes again.

    Also…why is the Miami Beach squad car painted in rainbow colors? That can’t be their regular logo.

    Ah. Apparently this is an ongoing thing in Miami Beach PD of which I had been unaware.

    The rainbow police car

    Miami Beach also has a patrol car with “POLICE” decorated in rainbow hues. The Ford Crown Victoria is used at community events such as the annual Miami Beach Pride festivities on Ocean Drive… (Photo below from Miami Beach PD)

    Miami Beach Police Criticized for Pride-Themed Squad Car
    Miami Beach Police Department’s rainbow-colored car sparks criticism from both homophobes and the LGBTQ community.

    Miami ‘Pride’ police cruiser mocked after going viral on Twitter: 'Society is unsalvageable’

    The Miami Police Department confirmed that the rainbow covered SUV is a working law enforcement vehicle

    Miami PD joins Pride trend with rainbow coloured car

    Officers from the Miami Police Department joined the Pride trend with a rainbow-coloured car.

    Footage shows the cops with the event-goers doing a countdown to reveal the patrol car that was repainted for the day on June 4.

    It sounds like it mostly has media on the right upset.

    I have no idea why The Guardian is using the image, but maybe they just searched for “miami police” to get a stock filler image and slapped the first thing that came up into their article.
