A Florida judge is facing a 25-day suspension after he expressed support for law enforcement during his campaign for the bench, which raises questions about his impartiality.

The Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission on Wednesday recommended the unpaid suspension after reviewing campaign materials and social media statements of Polk County Judge John Flynn. Some of the problematic statements included saying he “supports our law enforcement agencies” and “If you are a criminal you don’t want me on the bench.”
