Well, its no surprise you get canned when you act like a complete lunatic, especially being a police officer. He was rightfully fired, though next he should be watched and put on some sort of watch list due to his hateful rant and veiled threats of murder. Good riddance to this extremist scum.
was he arrested? if not then his first amendment is intact. First amendment rights does not give you immunity for consequences for being an idiot.
Same thing in Sweden. We have freedom of the press, but one can easily lose their public sector job if one is found to have said anything "extremist". More than 1 out of 3 jobs in Sweden are public sector. That does not even count private contractors hired by the government. Just one more reason to cut funding to the public sector, gives crazy progressives too much power. They have been abusing their public administrative positions trying to impose their social agendas. These are dirty political tactics being used, and it is turning into a war.
If he had ranted against Republicans and against the First and Second Amendments, Obama would have called him to the W.H. for a medal.
So, you are saying the professor in another post that said something extremist is simply a victim of a dirty political trick?
Oh well...This is what happens when you act like a lunatic. You get fired. Next the state should step in and seize all of his guns.
Nor does it grant you immunity from abusing your office and making your community into a national laughing stock.
Of course he had to be sacked, he's an idiot. As for his First Amendment rights, they weren't breached, he spoke out, he acted like a dickhead, he got sacked - pretty predictable I'd say. As for the rest of it - I'd be a bit wary of this kind of nutter being in law enforcement and any that share his views.
Oh, you mean like some politicians in the White House? There they've abused their office and made America the laughing stock of the world.
I would prefer his house, his vehicles and his financial assets. He can keep the guns because he won't be able to afford to buy the bullets.
I agree....His life should be ruined for making veiled threats of murder. We can only hope he becomes destitute.
...... ...especially from 2001 thru 2008! That administration had everything....corruption, war crimes, silencing the media, fleecing taxpayers funds and using up a previous Democratic president's surplus, driving America to bankruptcy, invading two countries under false pretenses, secret torture camps, and playing golf while citizens drowned waiting for help to arrive. King George the Goof-Off is his name, and torture is his game.
How in the world can you type is with a straight face without saying Obama is identical? Come on man, partisanship really needs to be made a mental disorder.
His mistake was not being a lib college professor. Then he could be as crazy as he pleased without getting fired.
Should anyone be surprised that the local community in the form of this town council doe snto wish to have this sort of fellow representing their police force as it's head? Clearly this guy has issues. Not only were his rants inappropriate for a person in his position, but his judgement is suspect. Using guns to rally agaisnt political philosophies woudl certainly make me suspect in his maturity decision making process. Going as far as to video said rants also makes me question his intelligence. These videos do not seem to be indicative of a person who would be a good choice to head a police department. Warning. Graphic language. [video=youtube;9BqFs9JRDaY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BqFs9JRDaY[/video] [video=youtube;UubTrNKYf-8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UubTrNKYf-8[/video]
He does seem a bit deranged, psychotic, and was passing less than subtle threats. The man is a powder keg, a potential danger to himself and others. I would think adding his name to the no-fly list might be in order too. Can you imagine if he was Muslim? The right-wing would've been calling for him to be hanged outside the gates of gitmo.
Why you've almost described the past five years. Ultra High unemployment, Lies to the people, Driving the debt to the highest it's ever been, Lying to the people about Benghazi, targeting Conservative groups through the IRS, Playing golf while people drowned and were flooded out on the East Coast. Oh, as far as torture is concerned Obama still uses Rendition and torture or haven't you heard. I forgot you're one of the uninformed and believe what just you read in the Lame Stream Media.
Yeah. This guy has some seriously psychological issues. Anyone who would hire this POS to protect the public is just asking for trouble.
But instead the right wing loons call him a "patriot" standing up for our "rights". I agree as well in your other post, put him on a no-fly list and declare him a domestic terror suspect.
