MEDFORD (CBS) — A post on the Medford Police Patrolmen’s Association Facebook page caused controversy online over the weekend.

The post showed Medford Police officers at the Fall Festival in Haines Square Saturday posing with a person in a Hillary Clinton mask and prison clothes.

The officers were smiling and holding the person in handcuffs as if they were arresting them.

Harry MacGilvray, president of the Medford Police Patrolmen’s Association, admitted poor judgement in making the post.

“These were Halloween costumes. It was meant totally as a joke. I apologize if this offended anyone in any way,” MacGilvray said in a statement. “I never expected this sort of reaction. It was poor judgment on my part.”

The posts have since been removed.
