pjmedia.com Retired Ormond Beach police officer Vincent Champion recently wanted to visit Universal Studios’ Orlando theme park with his girlfriend. The two of them thought they were going to have a great time. Well, not so much. You see, security refused entrance to Champion because he had the audacity to wear a shirt that said “retired police officer.”
It happened on November 1. Champion and his girlfriend, Holly Bickel, were headed to the theme park where they intended to meet up with other couples for Halloween Horror Nights. “I walk up to the line wearing a retired law enforcement officer shirt,” he explained to Blue Lives Matter afterward. “I start emptying out all my pockets and as Iâm about to walk through, the girl behind the security counter says âdo you have another shirt?'”
Obviously, the former police officer was rather surprised by the question. “I told her, ‘no ma’am I do not,’ and explained I was in town from Daytona. And she says you can’t come in here with anything that says ‘police officer’ on it.”
