WARNING: Some people may find some of the language in this story offensive.
Facebook post targeting LGBTQ community by Cleveland County reserve deputy causing controversy h CLEVELAND COUNTY, Okla. – A social media post allegedly made by a Cleveland County Sheriff’s deputy is creating backlash among minority groups.
“The new generation is filled with lib tards, transvestites, gays and sissies who need a safe room,” the post said.
The post was made by Ken Coartney on Facebook and we confirmed with Cleveland County that he is a reserve deputy.
“It’s hateful language. I mean, I think he, especially being in a community where he’s surrounded by students in Norman, I think it’s just unfathomable that he would use this kind of language to insult an entire generation of people,” said Troy Stevenson with Freedom Oklahoma.
Freedom Oklahoma is an advocate organization for the LGBTQ community.
Stevenson says someone sent him a screenshot of the post Saturday morning.
“These are people he’s supposed to be protecting. These are people that have to look to him as an officer of the law and yet he’s using this kind of language. It’s unacceptable," he said.
NewsChannel 4 reached out to the public information officer for the sheriff’s office. He told us he wasn’t aware of the post until we told him about it. We also sent him a screenshot.
So far, we haven’t received an official response about the situation.
The trouble comes when there is an actual legal case. Then the counsel can argue bias on his part and they’d have a well founded argument.
Anyone who has watched LBGTQWERTYUIOP cases in the last few decades know that they play this like Stradivariuses. Avoiding taking the trap is the only wise move. The poker face is the only professional thing to affect.
allegedly and proven to be true are not the same thing.
And really... though I take pains to talk about it calmly in order not to pull it into the area of emotionalism, I am bothered in my soul that the biblical advice, which would be the same, is not taken.
Because these sad fools have perfected a method of taunting the people who should know better into getting off balance, we end up seeing “animosity” being cited as a factor in cases, even at the US Supreme Court. And people tend to intuitively know that “we hate you” is not a valid criterion in a court case; “you did something wrong” is.
The only way to win is not to take that bait.
And frankly... any actual Christian witness is in fact going to have to start with something that is even superior to “getting along with them.” It’s going to have to start with “showing love.”
What, you say? These horribly offensive fiends who are ready to throw any and all crap at you?
Yes, these horribly offensive fiends who are ready to throw any and all crap at you. It takes a Jesus grade level of calm, and eyes that can see beyond the offense to the offender.
To a one they are a deeply love starved crowd, feeding at the devil’s false tables.
I can understand the world acting this way. I can’t understand a half-baked Christendom that does it, even though I can see why they do it (they are half baked).
The person who can step up to them and tell them that he cares, and keep his eye on the spiritual ball while the crap comes his way, is the person who can win their souls.
If we aren’t there, and I’m not even sure I could be there face to face yet (although on Facebook I have witnessed to self-admitted “gay” in this manner, and it was met with silence, which seems to mean at least he had no comeback, and I pray it was the conviction of the Holy Spirit) — then we really ought to be praying to the Lord that we will get there.
Now yes, I know this mixes issues. We’re talking about a secular post here. But even there, at least further trouble can be avoided in meeting the rightful goals of law enforcement. If this crowd gets in disproportionate trouble, don’t handicap your ability to deal with it effectively at a criminal court level.
Reserve deputy: guy with the orange flashlights directing traffic out of the football parking lot.
He called them ‘sissies’!
Now they want to hit him with their purses!
Well maybe, most of the time.
Yet it’s hard to separate this from the more general role of the sheriff, and one never knows when he will be called on to do more.
This is a contemporary problem due to the fact that acting as a LGBTQWERTYUIOP isn’t illegal anymore, yet they still commit a disproportionate amount of legal offenses.
Is the thing that one has a personal right to do, the right thing to do? Sometimes it isn’t. You can stick your foot in something and there could still be no law saying you can’t, and there might not even be a good reason to have such a law. But the consequences can’t also be chosen.
I don’t know how to address this without getting hyper preachy, but I am trying and apologize if I have failed. God help me on to higher ground yet.
Well, maybe they will. The purses that pay the lawyers, that is.
One has to remember, when faced with draining the swamp, what the goal is when one is neck deep in alligators. Just keep on letting the water out. Don’t wrestle the alligators. They’ll leave when the hole is dry.
Maybe autocorrect.
What’s all the fuss? It’s all matter of fact
Reserve deputy says town contains many “lib tards, transvestites, gays and sissies.”
Lib tards, transvestites, gays and sissies in town are incensed.
Freedom of speech apparently no longer exists for anyone even tangentially associated with government.
