Louisiana police officer fired after suggesting AOC should be shot

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."

“...Man, ‘justice’ is meted out quick to opponents of the left isn’t it? Good grief, it’s so fast it’s frightening....”
Yep. Amazing, huh?
Yet PIAPS Clinton and Juicy Smollett walk free as birds. As long as both of those criminals continue to walk free, there is NO equal justice under the law.

That was a well deserved firing.

He should have agreed that she needed sent back - to the bar.

Never state that someone needs a round.

Seriously, especially if you’re a cop. That really calls into question your judgement.

That said, how many democrats get fired for something similar.

A cop that dumb shouldn’t be a cop. I hope his replacement has a brain.

If Hollywood people were held to that same standard when they go after DJT, the place would be empty.
