A University of Virginia police officer has resigned for “abuse of a PA system” after he shouted “Make America Great Again” at students on election night.

According to The Cavalier Daily, student protesters who intruded on a Board of Visitors meeting back on the 11th included a demand for the firing of three officers allegedly associated with the public address “abuse,” and wanted a “re-evaluation of […] tuition dollars going to the University Police Department.”

All Democrats are totalitarians. All Democrats want to deny others freedom of speech.

They haven’t deemed “Make America Great Again” as hate speech yet, have they?

Just so wrong. Free speech is dead under Obama.

I’m willing to bet that if he had shouted, “I’m with Her,” there would have been absolutely no mention of the incident, and he’d still have his job.

OMG!

He hurt the feelings of the precious Snowflakes.

We have no recourse but to destroy his livelihood, ruin his name and publicly shame the man.

With any luck we can destroy his marriage, his family and his future.

We'll teach him to have some compassion.

If he had said that President elect trump was a wrongfully-elected fascist, he would have been given a raise and a medal. The answer to this atrocity is to fire the idiot LIB administrator fascists.

Of course if he had shouted “Hillary was cheated” he would have been promoted to Chief of the department.

You’re right. It’s early and not to mention wet and ugly outside so I’m off my game.

You said it too bluntly for the American people to comprehend.

Apparently, the officer was using his employer’s resources (the PA system in his squad car) to shout a political slogan. If I did the same while at work, I would definitely get a visit and reprimand from HR, if not a pink slip.
