A Louisiana police officer was fired on Monday over a Facebook post he made last week suggesting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., be shot.
The officer, Charlie Rispoli, a 14-year veteran of the Gretna, Louisiana, police force, called Ocasio-Cortez a "vile idiot" who "needs a round, and I don't mean the kind she used to serve," referring to her past job as a bartender, according to a screenshot posted by nola.com. According to the New Orleans-based news outlet, his comment was a reaction to a fake quote attributed to the congresswoman claiming that "we pay soldiers too much." Both his post and Facebook account have since been taken down.
Gretna's police chief, Arthur Lawson, said in a news conference on Monday that both Rispoli and another officer who liked the post were terminated. He called the situation an "embarrassment to our department" and "very, very disappointing."

You can lose your job.
What a dumbass.
Which one? THere are so many to choose from in that story.
While I may not agree, or disagree, with the content of the posting, it was stupid to post something like that on FecesBook etc.
LEOs drool over the prospect of their special status under totalitarianism.
Police and any law enforcement employee should not do social media. Too many creeps are gunning for you.
why would anyone visiting a social site use their real name?
Which is another proof that FartBook is the home of the IQ handicapped. Many millions of them.
Ge is simply seeking a permanent solution to the problem
Meanwhile the Socialist Squad refused to denounce Communist AF for their firebombing of an ICE facility earlier this month. The attacker died at the scene.
Their own genuine support for militant extremism is overlooked by the partisan press.
“why would anyone visiting a social site use their real name?”
Back when I used to troll the local paper’s website under a pseudo name the libs would often spout, “too chicken to use your own name?”. My reply to one guy was, “say that again, Mike Smith”...
You can lose your job.
You can lose your job just for liking someone elses post.
Now THAT should send a chill down anyone’s spine.
It’ a pretty big step up from ‘STFU’ o ‘eat hot lead & die’, tho.
The officer needs to find an entirely new line of work. He doesn’t display the kind of sense to be in law enforcement
It’s a shame that a police officer would lose his job after suggesting that the moron AOC cost him his job, but he should know better than to go anywhere on line to trash that piece of trash.
Make a joke, lose your job.
Kill someone because you thought they reached too quickly for their ID (must suck to live every moment in fear for your life) and the police will circle the wagons.
Truly, a ‘clown world’.
Idiot...
They are great tools and I don’t know what he would be so upset about.
I love the 4 horse women of the Apocalypse.
We get to make them the face of the opposition and they will never stop giving us ammunition.
I want them to be all crazy and drag their buddies further left.
I might donate to a couple of them just to keep them around...
Agreed. Whatever sympathy I may have for what I am guessing are his politics, that kind of comment would be inappropriate in any venue. Posting it online causes me to believe he lacks the judgement and temperament required of an LEO.
That’s the key point, in my opinion. Back in the day, you’d have a few drinks with your friends, say something overwrought, and everyone has forgotten it the next day. Now, it’s all in print for the world to see.
Man, ‘justice’ is meted out quick to opponents of the left isn’t it? Good grief, it’s so fast it’s frightening.
