Rostraver chief doesn't condone off-duty armed officer at rally

Rostraver police Officer Martin Palla had a right to stand armed with an AR-15, while off duty, across the street from a March For Our Lives rally in Greensburg, the chief said Monday.

Still, Police Chief Greg Resetar was not thrilled with Palla's decision to show up as a counter protester with the weapon.

"In my capacity as chief, I cannot condone and do not condone the actions of officer Palla," Resetar told the Tribune-Review.

Palla told a Trib reporter during the rally on Friday that he was carrying an unloaded Colt AR-15. He stood across the street from the rally at the Westmore­land County Courthouse with his Labrador retriever.

"I believe that both sides of this debate have a common goal, and that's the safety of our students," Palla said at the time, adding "I don't know if there's an overall solution. You can't legislate crazy."

Activist turds are flooding the Rostraver Township PD page with a cut and paste message in an attempt to get the Chief to discipline or fire this officer for simply exercising his First and Second Amendment rights and for standing in the gap for all of us.

We need to show our support for this officer.

What if the AR decided to go berserk and start a spree? What then? Let's let squire hogg weigh in. After all, we adults don't know how to use a democracy. Probably cause we live in a republic. 🙀🍿🍻🇺🇸

It seems this is the right approach to take.

The leader did not take a position for or against the issue. They let it be.

That is how it should be, I believe.

If you go to the link this newspaper gives Stormy Daniels a free ad for her appearance at a Pittsburgh strip club. The fake news media has resurrected the career of a washed up, over the hill porn star.

Rostraver Township is about 10 minutes from my house. Not a lot going on over there. Interstate 70 runs through it with a few motels and truck stops,farmland (cornfields) and cattle.

The Tribune Review used to be the Conservative newspaper in the Pittsburgh Market. Then it went all digital and stopped the print, leaving only the leftist Post Gazette.

After it went all digital, a bunch of leftists apparently took over, as it has increasingly become far-left and a tabloid.

I think you can leave a 5 star review on the webpage. It looks as if leftist turds are leaving one star reviews.

I live not too far away.

Quiet. Rural. Well tended middle class.

Nice area.

Venture to guess most residents support the 2nd Amend and not the sexually confused lefty fascists.
