DAVIE — The head of the local sheriff’s union in Broward County released a statement today asking his members to decline any security detail that involves the Miami Dolphins in response to the four players who kneeled during the national anthem last weekend.
Jeff Bell, president of Broward Sheriff’s Office Deputies Association Local I.U.P.A 6020, said he called for the refusal because of demand from his executive board and members.
“It was driven by the union leadership because we’ve had many requests to make a statement about the disrespect during the anthem,” Bell said by phone today.
