An Oregon Department of Corrections officer in the Portland area allegedly assaulted a Trump supporter by threatening him with a knife. The alleged assault occurred during an “Oregon Women for Trump” parade in Hillsboro. The man has also served in a communications role for the Washington County Democrat Party.

Event organizer Janira Brannigan posted a video showing Oregon Correctional Officer Clayton Callahan seen aggressively confronting a Trump supporter. The man was also reported to be the communications officer for the Washington County Democrat Party.

The Oregon Department of Corrections confirmed that Callahan is currently employed as a correctional officer in Coffee Creek, KOIN CBS6 reported. They said he is suspended pending further investigation and is “not allowed access to the institution or grounds.” Washington County Democratic Party officials were less candid, calling Callahan a “volunteer blogger” who “recently ended his work with the group,” the local news outlet stated.

As I understand, local citizen objections to prisons normally center around risks presented by riff-raff corrections officers residing near the prison. Risk of escape by actual prisoners is not that great. But prison guards are about a half a step above actual prisoners . . . so I have been told.

I’ve worked corrections and a percentage of the guards would be there either way.

On behalf of Correctional officers nationwide: sorry, he’s a poor example of our profession.

Dr. Clarissa Cole says that in her experience fully half the people who FAIL the psych eval are still hired to be police or prison guards.

The people who hire known sociopaths should be fully and personally liable for any crime they commit under color of authority.

Addressing that issue is at least a partial answer to problems with police . . . defunding police departments DEFINITELY is NOT the answer. Although well on the way to re-building his life now, drug use led to my oldest son having brushes with the law. I can testify that it is NOT just black folk who get abused by police officers and the court system.

Come at me in that manner while carrying a knife and he’d find himself flat on his back with several smoking holes in his chest.

What a pathetic joke loser. This criminal should spend time in prison in shackles.

Yeah, I’ve been advocating addressing it by seeing whoever hires them for full restitution for any damages they cause.

That would dry up the supply of fresh new psychopaths in every department.

The ones who are already there could be ‘counseled’ to find another career path, by the hiring manager who has seen one of his colleagues who hired a known sociopath lose his job, his house, his savings, and been stripped of his retirement!

G. Gordon Liddy said when he was in prison the prisoners wanted out but the guards volunteered to spend their lives in prison.
