From a personal point of view I wouldn't want either of them in a position of authority.
my point is that if anyone wants to join a political organisation no matter how unsavioury then they should be aloud to as a matter of basic freedom but if they are proven to abuse the trust or authority that goes with that position then they should be dealt with by the courts or disciplinary procedures
Ithink it's a shame that a good officer has been lost to the force when they need as many as they can get
