2 police officers fired over post suggesting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez should be shot

Two members of a police department in a New Orleans suburb were fired Monday — one for a Facebook post calling U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a “vile idiot” and suggesting that she be shot, the other for “liking” the post.

Gretna Police Chief Arthur Lawson announced the terminations Monday. Officer Charlie Rispoli was fired for a post saying Ocasio-Cortez “needs a round” and not “the kind she used to serve” — an apparent reference to her having once been a bartender.

Officer Angelo Varisco was fired for “liking” the post.

“It’s very disappointing,” Lawson said, adding that the Gretna department trains officers on diversity issues and use of social media — and that officers were undergoing such training this month.

Do NOT say what you think! “They” will get you.

the firings are not enough.

Jefferson Parish was named for slave owner Thomas Jefferson.

The name must be stricken and re-named “AOC Parish”. Of course, that COULD be interpreted as a threat, too. So perhaps the entire place should be re-named “WOKE Parish”.

These were stupid comments and the result is not surprising. Were they sober, drunk, or serious? Sad to see people ruin their career like this. (And yes, these types of things should be equally applied.)

Why would anyone post anything online under their actual identity?

“Diversity training” Is Orwell newspeak, meaning they get to say anything they want about you and you have to shut up and take it.

Who ought to be shot are those scouring social, media looking for dirt on people.
