Anything short of dismissal, and possible arrest, is unacceptable.
This clown is a danger to free citizens.
There are several things wrong here. His poor thinking to post a comment of this nature means he has bad judgment. The comment itself reveals a mentality that should not be officially carrying a gun. Between the bad judgment and the bad publicity he brought onto his organization he not only needs dismissal, but he needs to be out of any position of power, authority and control.
However, he’ll be suspended with pay and then back on the streets with a promotion.
this is going to be interesting to watch play out.
Slap on the wrist?
Anger management?
Hillsdale course on the constitution?
over a visit from Obama because he mention gun control?
Looking into my crystal ball I see...
He will receive a mild slap on the wrist for publicly stating what his whole department thinks.
Dumb cop......meet Facebook.
Wanna get:
Fired
Divorced
Arrested
Picketed
????????????
Post on Facebook (or any social network website) using your own identity.
He won’t be fired, but those comments can be saved and used in a future law suit when he violates the rights of a citizen sometime in the future.
“Internal investigation”, huh? That is code for 6 week paid vacation until the heat is off then a promotion.
It was also covered on the local CT Fox morning news.
...and he gets to continue his paid vacation while he is being investigated (he was apparently on paid ‘disability’ when he made the comments).
He looks like the vengeful lab assistant “Chip” who was on the NCIS TV show a few seasons ago...
I'll then put your head on a pike in my front lawn as a warning to the next treasonous SOB against our CONSTITUTION!
A case of “the police acted stupidly.”
It is going to cost him a lot more than his left nut. And who is protecting his house, while he is out trying to raid mine?
Civilians are only not yet convicted criminals.
His punishment will be no facebook for 6 months.
He wouldnt have made these comments unless that was the attitude and culture of the leadership and department in that city. Therefore EVERY member of that department leadership should be fired.
So here reveals the measurable. If gun rights are a part of our civil rights... and if non discrimination is also a civil right.... If he would have said, to a black person.. “ I would give my left nut to kick your door in and take you out and string you up “ the media would be going insane calling for his head. So what is the difference? They are both civil rights?
He might get “fired.” This would consist of appealing and getting his job back with back pay plus more money in six months or so when the heat dies down.
I have seen it happen.
Facebook is the Root of all Evil.
